Recipe: Mui Fan

I always encourage people to cook at home, even if it's just for one. I feel that only by this way, we can control what we eat, how much salt, MSG or anything else for that matters.

So this is just a simple meal to cook. If you don't like rice, u can always do Hor Fun with Kway teow. Very flexible.

Ingredient:

• Eggs
• Cornstarch
• Garlic
• Veggie, best is Cai Xin
• Meat or seafood, whatever you want. If use chicken or pork, best to use lean pork or chicken fillet/breast
• Chicken Stock

Instructions:

1. Cook rice
2. If use pork or chicken, marinate them with one tablespoon of light sauce, sesame oil and a dash of pepper.
3. Put one cube of Chicken Stock (Preferably the one with No Added MSG) in a pot of water and boil. Don't add too much water, or else you will dilute the taste. If you want, can do tasting after boil, to see if too salty.
4. Cut the garlic cloves, not too much, maybe 2 cloves.
5. Fry the garlic, in a wok, with one table spoon of olive oil (oilve oil for healthy living) until it turn golden brown
6. Add the chicken stock into the wok
7. Slowly add in the ingredients, put vegetables last
8. Add in cornstarch, must keep stirring to prevent lumps. Alternatively, can add corn starch into a separate bowl of water. slowly stir then add into the wok.
9. As a chef, we must always test our food and make necessary adjustments as deem fit. If it's slightly diluted, then salt is permitter. Remember, we don't want too much salt!
10. Crack an egg into a bowl, beat it and slowlt add in the work, stirring it constantly.
11. Get the rice from the cooker and pour this gravy onto of the rice and we have what the picture showed above!

I used chicken, fish, caixin and oyster mushroom (surprise myself) for the above creation. Time taken was less than 30 mins. Simple and easy!

If you like Hor fun instead, just buy kway teow, washed it, drained it of all the oil. Fry some garlic with olive oil in a wok then throw in the kway teow. Add in dark soy sauce and fry to even out the dark soy sauce. then put the kway teow one side before we start the gravy. Hor Fun is cooked then.
