Cooking Mama: Sandwich Day

Gordon wanted me to cook and took his Cooking Mama: World Kitchen Wii game out for me to play with him. And so, we spent the next hour or so making the ultimate sandwich on the TV screen , lol. I havent played Nintendo Cooking Mama: World Kitchen for quite sometime already. I also bought him the very first Cooking Mama version when i bought him the Wii console.

He loves to see me “cook” on TV. I guess to him, it’s like watching his Mama on a TV cooking program. Must have been watching far too much Iron Chef, lol!!! In Cooking Mama 2: World Kitchen, i dont get to select what to cook. Gordon decides what he wants his Mama to cook. And today, he wanted me to make him a sandwich. And here we go:

It’s Fried Fish And Omelette For Tonight’s Dinner

It really didnt take MIL long to cook two simple yet yummy dishes for dinner. Say, half and hour or so. Me…. maybe more, lolol.

Fried fish

We’re having fried fish tonight. This morning, we have steamed fish for brunch. We have fish everyday. Both my kids dont really fancy fish. I need to camouflage it properly before they’ll eat it. This is SKILL, LOLZ!!!!

Long beans omelette with minced pork

And we are also getting a super yummy long beans omelette with minced pork and lots of chopped onions and garlic inside. The kids are going to love it with their favorite Japanese mayo. This is also one way to get my kids to eat their vegetables 85% of the time. So, what are you having for dinner tonight?

How To Make Half-Boiled Eggs With An Egg Maker

No doubt about it, eggs are one of most nutritious food on earth. If a chicken can hatch out of it, just imagine how much growth-promoting factor that’s packed inside the small oval-shaped wonder. I love eggs very much, especially those Omega enriched eggs. We’ve run out of it, but i found a few normal ones in the fridge.

Eggs makes an excellent quick breakfast and goes well with everything. Hubby bought Gardenia Butterscotch bread and coffee-flavored Swiss roll the other day from 7-11 fro the kids. We still have some Drinho Home Soy left. As i was too busy to cook them something this morning, i just made them half-boiled eggs for breakfast.

How to make half-boiled eggs with egg maker

I dug my plastic egg maker out from the kitchen cabinet, placed four eggs into a bowl of warm water to take the cold out. Put a kettle of water onto the stove and waited for it to boil. Next, place the four eggs into the egg maker and pour the hot water into it. As i’m making four eggs, i make sure water is almost to the top before i place the cover on. There are markers on the side of the egg maker to indicate how much water for making x-number of eggs. Wont go wrong.

Here’s a short video of how to make half-boiled eggs with an egg maker. Isnt it funny to see so much bubbles emitting from the eggs, hoh. You can also hear the hot water dripping into the base yellow-colored container.

Bowl of Half-boiled eggs

I dont know how long it took. I was helping Gordon with his homework. I just asked hubby to go in and check if all the water has finished dripping or not and to knock two each into two separate bowls. Half-boiled eggs are best taken with soya sauce and pepper. For added nutrition, you can also add sesame oil or olive oil to it. BEST-nye. My kids love it!!!!

Noodle Omelette

If you ask my kid what he wants to eat, chances are, he will tell you he wants “Meen-meen egg”; meaning noodle with egg. It’s his all-time favorite. I guess i can relate to that as i love a simple bowl of noodle with an egg too. Kinda like comfort food to me. Tonight is just another ordinary night with an ordinary request from my extraordinary kid. He walked up to me and told me “I want Meen-meen egg, Mama”. How can i refuse such an ordinary request, you tell me.

But tonight, the ordinary mom wants to make something out-of-the-ordinary for her extraordinary kid. And after getting the needed ingredients out, i had an idea to make him a Noodle Omelette. Prepared with all the same old ingredients, but with a different finished look. I used a packet of chicken flavored Maggi Mee Lite (MSG-free), two eggs and some minced pork marinated with Teriyaki Sauce. You can add vegetables if you like but my kid doesnt like it.

Noodle Omelette Ingredients

Here’s how i made the Noodle Omelette for my kid. First, i cooked the packet of instant noodle together with the packet of seasoning. Drain off the soup and set aside. I then fry the minced pork with my small Tefal 12cm egg frying pan till fragrant. Next, mix all three ingredients in a big bowl and add some McCormick Garlic Powder with Parsley (optional) to it.

To cook, pour the mixture slowly onto my Tefal stir-fry pan. Do not stir. Cook it over medium heat and make sure the bottom doesnt burn. Flip it over and cook the other side till it’s done, gaotim. Note, i didnt use oil in this Noodle Omelette recipe. Instead i rubbed the base of my Tefal Stir-fry pan with some olive oil before i pour the mixture into it so that i can move the Noodle Omelette easily.

Noodle Omelette on plate

This is how my Noodle Omelette like. I dont have any cheese at home. If not, i would transfer the Noodle Omelette to a plate after the bottom is done, top it with some cheese and place it into my Philips toaster oven and bake it for a few minutes till the cheese is browned. Sounds yummy hoh. If you have the time, you can even fry the mixture in smaller batches or make them into bite-sized nuggets. Makes a great snack. *keys in note into my Nokia N82 to go buy cheese on my next grocery shopping trip*

Noodle Omelette

Up close and personal shot of my Noodle Omelette. Looks like a pizza hoh. It’s really tasty and both my kids enjoyed it very much. At least i managed to get this shot after i finshed washing everything up. I only got a small bite *sulks*. Haih… what’s new. Happiness is seeing them enjoying their food. If you have picky eaters, this Noodle Omelette may get them to eat. Just add whatever you want to this simple Noodle Omelette Recipe to make it different. Cooking for kids sure’s fun, eh.

Egg Mayo Sandwich Using Scrambled Eggs

In my previous post, i mentioned my kid wanted to eat egg sandwich for breakfast. In other words, he actually wanted his favorite egg mayo sandwich. I didnt prepare any egg mayo in advance and it’s gonna take far too long to make some for a hungry kid. So, i made him Scrambled Eggs instead. After that, it gave me an idea to use the Scrambled Eggs to make him his sandwich.

I made the egg sandwich using the automatic sandwich maker, what else.For the first two pieces, i made the sandwich with just the scrambled eggs i prepared earlier. For the next two slices, i added some Kyupi mayonaise to some scrambled eggs and mashed them together. Fuyoh…. SUPER DELICIOUS!!!! Even more than the usual egg mayo i used to prepare, lol. So, now you know how to make egg mayo sandwich using scrambled eggs, why not try it out?

McCormick Garlic Powder With Parsley

Yup, you dont have to guess which egg sandwich Gordon preferred. The one with egg mayo in it obviously. For a twist, i added some McCormick Garlic Powder with Parsley to the remaining scrambled eggs. Then cooked some organic Kamut pasta, added some pasta sauce to it, and whacked everything up. And yes, though simple, it’s still satisfying. Why? Cause my kid had some and asked for more when it’s all gone :D
