People think I'm so healthy because I eat salad and fruit all the time. Really, I'm just not bothered to plan a grocery list according to a recipe and do a lot of measuring and mixing.
Sometimes it's nice to have a hot meal, though, and the other day I found a dish easy enough for even me.
Egg drop soup. A classic American Chinese food, a novelty to the British.
It's quite nice, and easy. Seriously.
Ingredients (add or subtract whatever whatever carbs and veg you like):
2 c water
couple drops of oil (preferably sesame, but I used olive)
leek &/ onion chopped
1/2 c frozen peas
spoonful of tomato paste (optional)
spoonful of soy sauce, and then to taste
one or two cloves of garlic
rice noodles
egg
handful of spinach
cooked rice
Directions:
Add oil, leek and/or onion + peas to water and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Add tomato paste, soy sauce, and garlic. Stir occasionally. Add noodles. When everything is cooked, slowly pour in the beaten egg. Slowly stir clockwise with a fork for 1 minute to get it nice and shreddy. Add spinach. Remove from heat. Add rice. Eat.

What are the black flakes? Can you stir counterclockwise too? :)
ReplyDeleteThe flakes are basil. I put it on everything!
DeleteHehe, the recipe said clockwise, but I didn't actually pay attention to what way I mixed. :D
