Mui Fan

What do you cook if you have some random ingredients in the fridge and you have a family to feed? My hubby used to say that quiche is a rojak dish. You can put anything in it and it will work out well. Today, I realise that Mui Fan is the oriental version of that. I put whatever I could find into this dish and,voila, we got Mui Fan for dinner! 

Ingredients:
- 3-4 bowls of cooked rice 
- 4 eggs 
- whatever vegetables 
- whatever protein (seafood, meat or tofu)
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce 
- cornstarch
- pepper, salt 
- minced garlic
- fried shallots 

Procedures:
1) In a frying pan, fry minced garlic, cooked rice with 2 beaten eggs. Set aside in a huge serving bowl. 
2) In the frying pan, add minced garlic, protein, vegetables or anything. Fry until cooked. 
3) Add oyster sauce and 1 bowl of water. Adjust the taste with pepper or salt. 
4) Thicken the sauce with corn starch. Add 2 beaten eggs. 
5) Pour the sauce on the rice. Top up with fried shallots. Serve.

Shallots Steamed Chicken Wings

I am embarking on an effort to collect my mummy's recipes. It is not an easy task as she does not have her recipes written down and she bases the quantities on her intuition. But I am sure that this endeavour is worthwhile as what I am collecting are not mere recipes but also wonderful memories. This dish, shallots steamed chicken wings, is one of my favourites when I was kid. Ingredients: - 1 kg of chicken mid wings - 4 tablespoons of light soya sauce - 2 tablespoon of sesame oil - 3 tablespoons of hua tiao wine - pepper - 6 shallots, chopped - spring onions and parsley, chopped for garnish Procedures: 1) Marinate chicken wings and shallots with light soya sauce, sesame oil, hua tiao wine and pepper for 30 minutes. 2) Arrange on a steaming plate and steam for 30 minutes. 3) Garnish with spring onions and parsley. Serve.
