What are you eating? Recipes anyone?
Postby Missy24 » Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:59 pm
I also know mum's get tired of cooking at times and find it hard to think of something new and different thats tasty and healthy, so if you have any ideas, we'll put them in this thread.
Let's make it a rule that they have to be quick and easy though!

I'll be back later to share a quick and easy recipe for Rice Bubble Slice which is a great thing to have in the fridge for post-ride snacks. It takes literally 5 minutes to make!

If you are into salads, grab a packet of Crispy Noodles (asian isle in Coles) and do the recipe on the back. Basically, shredded chinese cabbage, crispy noodles, toasted pinenuts, and the sauce of sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil and maybe another ingredient I can't remember. I often do this for a super quick meal as I've found chinese cabbage lasts longer than lettuce in the fridge. I also add a finely chopped chilli for some spark but it doesn't need it.

Mamak mee goreng
Postby Christine Tham » Fri Apr 23, 2010 9:52 am
Here's my recipe for "Mamak Mee Goreng". "Mamak" is a term referring to Tamil Muslims who migrated from the south of India to Malaysia centuries ago and "mee goreng" (fried noodles) is a popular dish that you can buy at a "mamak stall." As kids, we would sometimes eat this dish for breakfast (!).
In Australia, Melbourne is the best city to find authentic versions of this dish, due to the large expatriate Malaysian population living there and good Malaysian restaurants.
The dish is best cooked on a hot wok that is gas heated, but I have successfully used this recipe on an electrically heated saucepan (the secret is don't overload by cooking too much, and add the ingredients one by one to the stir fry to allow them to heat up properly).
My version is "vegetarian" but I add eggs. The eggs are optional, but improve the dish.
The end result should look something like this:
Ingredients:
- hokkien mee (thick egg noodles) 500g
- 1-2 tomatoes, cut into 1-2 cm cubes
- 1-2 carrots, sliced into coin sized pieces
- 1 small-medium potato, boiled, then deskinned and cut into 1-2 cm cubes
- Chinese greens (either choy sum or bak choy will do - not too much, about 1 small bunch, chop up into pieces about 1 inch wide)
- half a packet of bean sprouts (you can use less if you want)
- garlic chives or spring onions, about 1/3 of a "bunch" typically sold in Asian food stores or supermarkets, cut into 1 inch strands
- fried tofu puffs (the small cube variety - they are springy) - cut into halves
- marinated tofu cakes (you can buy these from Coles/Woolies - they come in various flavours, I generally like "Teriyaki" - you can find them in the refridgerated section next to the Sanitarium vegetarian stuff), cut into 0.5cm strips
- three eggs, beaten, and marinated with a generous dash of light soy sauce (until the eggs turn from orange to murky brown)
- fresh coriander, finely chopped (used as garnishing, so not too much)
- fresh chillies, finely chopped (again, used as garnishing)
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely diced
- cooking oil (I use olive oil, but peanut oil may taste better)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce (salty)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (sweet)
- 4 tablespoons (!!!) of tomato ketchup
- Put around 1 tablespoon on oil in heated saucepan. Wait for oil to heat up.
- Brown the garlic.
- Add carrot, wait for carrot to get soft (and slightly brown), then add tofu cakes, tofu puffs, then the green vegetables. Remember, only one ingredient to be added at any given time, wait for it to heat, then add next ingredient. Otherwise everything will end up as one gigantic soggy mess.
- When everything looks kind of semi cooked, add the noodles. Some people cut up the noodles using a knife to make it easier to stir the noodles in the saucepan. I just take a 500g packet, and run a pair of scissors cutting the glob of noodles in half.
- Now add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and 4 tablespoons of tomato ketchup into the noodles and stir around until the noodles have warmed up and are soft.
- Move everything to the edge of the saucepan leaving empty space in the middle, add a bit of extra oil, and dump the beaten egg/soy sauce in the middle.
- As the egg harden, move the noodles and ingredients over the egg. As the egg harden further, stir everything around the pan.
- Finally, add the cubed potatoes, bean sprouts, chives/spring onions, tomatoes. Remember, only add 1 ingredient at a time otherwise everything becomes soggy.
- Finally, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce.
- Plate up, and garnish with coriander and chilli.
- Serves 3-4, but if you are really hungry, 2 (!)
- Cooking time: depend on how hot you can heat the saucepan (the hotter the better - turn the dial up to 11 if you can!), but generally less than 15 minutes

I just get the continental sachet and follow the directions its really easy and its a sensible amount of calories and its good food.
I also marinated some chicken overnight, Honey, soy and garlic and I'll put it with some cous cous for either lunch or dinner, or maybe even salad if I feel like it.

Crumble
2 parts self raising flour
1 part rolled oats
1 part brown sugar
1 part dried milk
1 part butter
Mix all together (rub butter in or use a food processor). Spoon in a layer over apple or rhubarb or anything and bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned. I use 1 cup as my "part" as it makes my measurements easy and I store the rest in the fridge until I need it - keeps for the life of the butter.
Marshmallow Slice
1 packet milk arrowroot biscuits - crushed
1 tin condensed milk
16 marshmallows quartered
16 cherries halved (or other fruit like cranberries)
Mix all together. Either press into slice tin or roll into balls or roll into a big log (in plastic) and freeze. If in a tin, cut after about an hour and store in freezer. If you do it into logs, you can cut what you need when you need it. Takes about 10 minutes all up and it a great emergency, but don't put it in a lunchbox as it will be a soggy mess by lunch.
Now that I've been bad, this thread can return to it's normal healthiness

Cook it up into a nice bolognaise.
Serve with spinach pasta and peas\corn\carrot mix (50/50 of each).
Nice bit of parmeson on top. Very low fat, very high protein, good healthy carbs. and lentils!

This takes about 15 minutes to prepare as I normally cook the veges in the steam oven first then everythhing just needs assembling. Easy vege meal and the chicken soup makes you think you aren't being too good

- add flour and self raising flour, knead until doughy
- add macadamia and white chocolate
- preheat oven to 165 degrees fan forced (or 175 non fan)
- line baking tray with non stick paper
