Cooking Attempto! Trout+Mushrooms+Omelette

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Ingredients:

  • Eggs
  • Mushrooms
  • Trout
  • Pepper
  • Random herbs

Method:

  • Cut the trout and mushrooms into segments
  • Oil the pan and pour the egg in after swirling them with a knife gently
  • Gently fold over the edges of the omelette as it cooks and keep the fluids from spilling out
  • Pepper the omelette then fold the whole omelette in half
  • Start cooking the trout and mushrooms in the other half of the pan
  • Turn the trout and cook further, finally serve the omelette and trout
  • Let the mushrooms sizzle for another minute and serve with the rest

Swirl the eggs with a knife – do not beat them when making an omelette.

Chopped the trout and removed the bones.

Kept the mushrooms cooking for longer.

Nice!

Tadaa:

Next time I may try adding a dash of milk and some parmesan to the eggs for extra flavour. Overall it was quite a delicious breakfast :-)

Cooking Attempto! Thai-style Salmon

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

And here we go again:

  • Salmon fillet, skinned
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Alfafa Sprouts
  • Unsalted Cashews, smashed
  • Bokchoi!
  • Capsicum
  • Ginger
  • Lime Juice
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Fish Sauce
  • Cracked Pepper
  • Rice
  • Cucumber

The approach I took:

  • Cooked the rice for 20 minutes in a rice cooker
  • Oil and lime juice in the pan while it heated
  • Skinned the salmon, threw it into the pan
  • Let it cook on one side, added the bean sprouts and cashews
  • Two spoons of oyster sauce, a fair few splashes of the fish sauce
  • Crack the pepper, add the bokchoi, capsicum and alfafa

And the results!

 

 

 

The (je ne sais quoi) presentation:

Delicious – I was quite pleased with how it turned out :D

I must admit, I didn’t intend to break the salmon up!

Cooking Attempto! Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Tonight will be going with the following ingredients…

  • Diced Chicken
  • Mushrooms
  • Lemongrass
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Broccolli
  • Onion
  • Capsicum
  • Bokchoi!
  • Some seasoning

We’ll see how it turns out!

And we’re back!

The method was pretty simple:

  • Boil the noodles
  • Fry the chicken with oil
  • Add the onion
  • Add capsicum, bokchoi and mushrooms
  • Add teriyaki sauce and random spices!

And the results!

This part was great. The lack of bench space required me to improvise somewhere for cooking the noodles. Kettle + Sink = brilliant!

Fin!
