Cabbage Pizza

Today is an idea inspired from 小红书. Been wanting to try as it looks delicious. Depending on what ingredients you top it with, it will make up for the protein in this meal and the cabbage is the greens you need. 

Easy to assemble and cook. Just dump it in airfryer or oven. Can you still see the cheesy pulls from the parmesan I used. Next round I gonna try with cheddar or mozerella as I believe will be a better fit! And probably add some tomato puree! 

Cabbage Pizza

1 small portion of cabbage

Pizza cheese (I use parmesan this time) 

Shrimps

Tomatoes

Seasoning: Black pepper, chilli power, pink salt

1) Slice cabbage into a disc

2) Rub seasonings on it and bake 180deg x 15mins

3) Put ingredients on top and continue to bake another 10mins

4) Enjoy

Fast & Easy Fried Noodles

Baked some egg cups for breakfast and lunchboxes to school. Decided to share a simple prep-ahead and yummy lunchbox recipe that I always play around with. 

I am using this ingredients for this batch. I always change the toppings around to make it feel like a different thing each round I made them. I tried brocolli, spinach, ham, chicken, sausages as well. It all depends what your family likes. This batch is the first time I am topping them with feta cheese ❤️

This is how their final lunchboxes looks like! Left is for my sec 3 firstborn and right is for ny pri 2 youngest child. Both have different preference and so I always try to pack them to the best I can. 

Sitting down to take 1 before my run after dropping the youngest to school. He also tried a mouth and pass it. Says he gonna come home and have more for lunch too. So happy and blessed when your family love the food you made. Even my second child also had it for breakfast this morning as he was asking what was it when I was packing.

Egg Fried Rice (Thermomix)

Been a while I have not updated my blog. Too busy with house shifting, then the Chinese New Year, still settling in and then the PSLE kid. Tiring 😅

Today sharing a simple Egg Fried Rice Recipe that I have done with my thermomix. Using a fried eggs tips shared by my team’s advisor on how to have fried eggs! YES! FRIED EGGS! Not too bad for a TM-version without an oily kitchen. ❤️

Tips for higher success-rate Fried Rice would be using cooled rice, and preferably basmati rice. Using jasmine rice and japanese rice is fine too, but if its not cooled well enough or its too wet, the chances of the fried rice being mashed up is high. So do be careful with your rice prior to making Fried rice. I would reduce 1-2mins of cooking time to ensure less wet and soft rice if you are

not using basmati rice.

You can see the video of the process from my instagram here as the video was too huge to upload. It really quite simple and I will write down the recipe and steps below for you all. 

Made some homemade chicken floss as toppings. Really just dumping meat and seasonings and let my thermomix do its magic. Added in toasted seaweed and seaame for a small portion to use. Yums! Smell so good! And important is you know what goes in this batch of floss and its preservatives and msg free! 

Hope you like my simple sharing for today!

Char Kway Teow - Thermomix

 

Buying time for ‘Me Time’ during school holidays! Having 1-dish meal for lunches is the best way! 

Been wanting to fry kway teow and decided to put into action today. I was doing laundry while cooking lunch at the same time.

Of cos this minus the wok hey from the wok but it spares me a greasy kitchen to clean up. Yet I can have homecooked meals for my family and still buys extra 30mins to self love by doing a short workout. Amazing gadget I ever invest in! 

Ok, cos I am a visual person. I had to do a short video to show steps by steps for this recipe. And always remember to add ur butterfly whisk when u fry noodles, beehoon or kway teow. (cos i always forgets and ends up with shorter pieces 😬😬)
