When was the first time I lay my hands and made a dish all by myself?
In fact, I can't recall if I ever cook all by myself except for some simple stuffs like fried eggs and magi mee. Most of the time, my mum and maid do all the cooking...
And I had my very first attempt in making a proper and filling meal for raymond and his family. Went to NTUC Xtra to grab all the ingredients for
Potato Pie:
Onion, Garlic (just 1 of each will be more than suffice)
Ham
Sausage
Cheese (Kraft cheese singles will do)
Minced Pork
Cabbage
7 medium to large size potato
Pepper, Salt
1 Egg
Potato Pie
1) Boil the potatoes until it's cooked and soft to mashed it.
2) Cut the ham, sausage, cabbage into small sizes. Chop the garlic and onion.
3) Add a little oil to your frying pan.
4) Stir fried the garlic, onion then add in the minced pork.
5) Thereafter, add in the ham ,sausage and cabbage and stir fried it until cooked
6) Added a pinch of salt and pepper.
7) Get a metal tray in round or square shape. Brush margarine to prevent the potato from
sticking tot he tray.
8) Use around half of the mashed potato to form the first layer
9) For the 2nd layer - put the stirred fried ingredients evenly.
10) Tear the cheese and put in on top of the ingredients
11) Use the other half of the mashed potato to complete the 3rd layer.
12) Beat an egg and use a brush to coat the 3rd layer of the potato pie.
13) Put it into the oven until the it looks golden brown at 150 degrees.
Da-ta ... you'll have your freshly baked potato pie which is super healthy, filling and yummy when you served it piping hot. Yum Yum!
Carbonara (using almost similar ingredients =) save money haha)
Ham ( Cut it into small square shape)
Saugage ( Chopping into thin slice)
Mushrooms (Sliced them)
Minced Pork ( u can use beef or chicken)
Eggs (is a must for it to taste great!)
Pepper, Salt, Garlic, Onions, Spring Onions
Shredded Cheese
Carbonara Sauce
Spaghetti
1) Boil the spaghetti until cooked and washed it down with cold water to prevent it from being sticky
2) Stirred fried the ingredients - Chopped garlic, onions, spring onions, minced pork ,ham , sausage and mushrooms) Remember to add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavoring.
3) Throw in the spaghetti and stir fried it with the ingredients =)
4) Now... place the ready mixed spaghetti with ingredients into a big pot/frying pan.
5) Separate the egg yolk and the egg white
6) Cook it plate by plate by taking the amount of spaghetti you consume. Put 3 spoonful of carbonara sauce into the frying pan, add a little bit of water. Pour in the egg white, stir it for a while and add in the spaghetti. Cook it until it's hot.
7) Place the raw egg yolk on top of your cooked spaghetti and served it together with the shredded cheese. =)
It's tiring but I really love the potato pie a lot haha. Hmmm, take note unless your parents love to eat cream sauce, don't try cooking carbonara for them coz they might feel that it taste weird. But it's always a great idea to bake the potato pie coz i assume everyone loves potato! And you can have them with your girls as dinner cum supper.
Thanks raymond for that mini surprise. He made a photo puzzle of us with a very beautiful frame. I had fun fixing the puzzle while waiting for our dinner to be served at Cafe Cartel. =) Thank you!
Oh dear, it's all down to 5 days. Boo =( I shall stop counting down. How could I dread work even before it begins?
