Stir-Fried Tomatoes With Eggs

Tomatoes matches very well when cooked with eggs, meat or prawns.  The slightly sourish taste opens up our taste buds and it serves well with our Asian staple food RICE!

There are few different styles to cook the eggs with the tomatoes.  (1) the eggs can be scrambled and fried with the tomatoes or (2) leave the fried eggs whole and added to the fried tomatoes, or (3) drizzle the lightly beaten eggs over the fried tomatoes.  Whatever style we cook it, it is always deliciously tasty!

This time around I am cooking this tomato dish with whole fried eggs...

Korean Marinated Eggs (Mayak Eggs)

I first try a hand on this Korean Egg recipe in August 2024, and prepared it again in the same year.  It is a 'Simple Yet Yummylicious' recipe to prepare, let it marinate in the fridge in airtight container for a day or two, and consumed it cold ~ YUMMY ~

Recently, with the weather getting hotter and humid, I decided to revisit this recipe, as it helps me to spend lesser time in the kitchen.  I consider it my life saver!

Let me share with you my most recent prepared Korean Marinated Eggs (Mayak Eggs).

Soft Potato Bread With Custard Topping

I love bread/buns made with a combination of mashed potatoes.  It is light, soft and fluffy.  With the sweetness of the custard cross topping, it is one delicious buns to enjoy any time of the day.  I am intending to make this recipe into a loaf bread, in the near future.

I adapted this recipe from 'Miki's Food Archives' and click here for the link to get the full recipe.

I am sharing some photos throughout the process of making this delicious bread/buns:-

Custard topping

For infor, I did not brush with sugary syrup when it comes out of the oven.  That is why my buns looks a bit dull, but I don't mind as it taste good!

Sharing my frequent revisit bread and buns recipes from my home kitchen

I have been intending to bake breads and buns for my home consumption since my early retirement 20 years ago. I have this wrong idea of, to bake bread I must have a bread maker.  However, with the lock down during the Covid time, I research a lot on bread making as most of the time I am staying indoor while my hubby is out buying groceries and all other needed items.  Thanks to the many successful Home Bakers and Chefs, who, whole heartedly share their recipes and tips on bread making through online.  Now, I am so proud to share my bread baking journey with all my friends and those who love baking!

There are quite a few bread recipes which I frequent revisit, bake them and enjoys them in the comfort of our home.  To be very frank, I very seldom buy ready made breads/buns from bakery since I starts baking my own bread/buns.

My Simple Fried Rice (Recipe 2)

As and when I am too lazy to think and plan what to cook, among one of my easy-way-out option is to cook two portions of Basmati Rice in the rice cooker, let it cool down and fry rice with whatever available ingredients in my pantry.  I love to use Basmati Rice than normal rice as the rice grain is extra long, once cooked it is fluffy and non-sticky texture.



The ingredients for the fried rice this time around are Chinese sausage, corn, carrot and eggs.  The seasonings used and steps for cooking the rice is as per my previous post.  Click the link here to get the full recipe.  Enjoy cooking everyone!
