One of my first recipe books I bought was this one-
It was a great book, full of authentic recipes and how-to, step-by-step instructions, it also had a comprehensive pictorial of ingredients and utensils used in Chinese cooking. It helped me a great deal while being introduced to Asian cooking. Lovely Hubbies Gran loved it so much I gave it to her, but alas, it wasn't amongst her recipes books, after she passed away.
There was a quote in the book by the Author, Yan Kit, that went something like "If an unexpected visitor arrives, set an extra pair of chopstick, cook some more rice and make an omelette" I have been making this omelette for years to stretch out a meal to feed either extra people at our table or just because everyone seemed hungrier than usual. I also make it quite often with just one egg for my lunch to have with left over rice and asian greens.
For every egg, add 1 teaspoon each of sesame oil and oyster sauce, whisk well
Add a generous amount of sesame oil to a non stick, heavy based frypan and heat until really hot, add whisked eggs to hot sesame oil. And gently fold in edges (like this method) until eggs are just starting to set, don't overcook it or it will be dry
Transfer to a serving platter and pour over extra oyster sauce and chopped spring onions if you have them
A tasty and simple way to make a meal go further. On this particular night we had a dish we call "Mince and Egg" it is made with only 500 grams of lean beef mince and as our sons lovely partner was with us for dinner, I made this omelette to make that small amount of meat to stretch a bit further.
How do you make your meals go further?
