Breakfast ideas: Soft boiled egg

Boiled Egg
Breakfast is one of the most important meals though there are people who tend to skip it. I like soft boiled egg and in Hungary and the western countries, eating soft boiled egg by dipping the toast cut into 'finger-sized' like these in the photo. For most asians, it is served on a plate and sprinkled with pepper and some dark soya sauce, like this:

Soft-Boiled-Eggs
It's not the best looking as compared to the westerners' way of preparing the soft boiled egg, however it tastes better perhaps because of the dark soya sauce! :)

Here's a video of how you can make yourself a nice soft boiled egg for breakfast!

Beef Bourguignon | boeuf à la bourguignonne

weekend dinner, mar 4th, 2006




Beef Burgundy or boeuf à la bourguignonne is a well known traditional French recipe. It is a stew prepared with beef braised inred wine, traditionally redBurgundy, and beef broth, generally flavoured with garlic,onions and a bouquet garni, withpearl onions and mushroomsadded towards the end of cooking. Traditionally the meat was larded with lardons, but modern beef is sufficiently tender and well marbled that this very time-consuming technique is rarely used anymore. However, bacon cut into small cubes is still used to produce the initial cooking fat and added to the dish at the end.

Gesztenye püré | Chestnut puree


Originally uploaded by zannnielim
Ok, I can't resist in posting this one, because to be REALLY honest, I really like this dessert very much!

1 1/2 pounds chestnuts
milk as needed
3/4 to 1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla
rum to taste
1 pint whipping cream for topping


Put chestnuts in a large saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 10
minutes. Remove outer and inner peel from chestnuts. Take only a few out of the water at a time as they are easier to peel when warm.
*Tip: Cut the nuts in half and scoop out the meat with a nut pick.

Put the chestnut content into a saucepan, cover with milk and simmer until the chestnut is soft enough to easily mash and the milk is absorbed.

Press the chestnuts through a sieve (though you might also try a food
processor).

Boil the sugar and water to make a thick syrup (don't brown).

Immediately add to the chestnuts and cool. Add only enough liquid so that the chestnuts can be put through a potato ricer and still hold their shape.

Add the vanilla and rum. The rum suggested here is called "Stroh" and it is from Austria. Technically, it is a "tea rum" with an incredible butterscotch-like aroma and flavor.

Put the chilled mixture through the potato ricer, making a small mound in the center of individual dessert plates. Top with the whipped cream. Sweeten my whipped cream slightly and add a bit of vanilla too. You should balance the sweetness of the whipped cream to act as a counterpoint to the chestnut puree (i.e. sweeter puree = less sweet whipped cream, less sweet puree = sweeter whipped cream). The lightness of the whipped cream will also cut the incredible richness of the puree.

Enjoy! :D

Tom Yum Prawns (Thai)

Prawn Tom Yum

Tom yum is characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors, with fragrant herbs generously used. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, limejuice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers.

Tom yum is usually made with prawns (tom yum goong or tom yum kung), chicken (tom yum kai), fish (tom yum pa in Laotian and tom yum pla in Thai), or mixed seafood (tom yum thale or tom yum po taek) and mushrooms - usually straw mushrooms or oyster mushrooms. The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro (coriander leaves).




Biksemad a'la Cod (Danish)


Originally uploaded by ZarahMaria
Pyttipanna is basically the same dish as the Danish biksemad. Traditionally, it consists of potatoes, onions, and any kind/s of meat and/or sausage, diced and then pan fried, it is often served with a fried egg, pickled diced beetroot, sour pickled gherkin, and capers.

The dish was originally made from leftovers of past meals but now it is far more common to prepare pyttipanna from prime ingredients. Frozen pyttipanna of many varieties can be bought in almost every Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish supermarket. It's also a popular dish in Finland where it's called pyttipannu.

How To Make French Crêpes

Strawberry & Nutella - YUM!

A crêpe is a type of very thin, cooked pancake usually made from wheat flour. The word, like the pancake itself, is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning "curled." While crêpes originate from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France, their consumption is nowadays widespread in France and is considered the national dish. In Brittany, crêpes are traditionally served with cider. Crêpes often have a fruit filling of syrup, mixed berries, fresh fruit or lemon cream. The one we tried in Strasbourg (france) was with Nutella and it was delicious ;)
