Blog Party 8 - Brunch

hosted by : Dispensing Happiness

    " Blog Party is a virtual cocktail party for food bloggers. It's a chance to make those little bites and fantastic drinks we all love, but never make. Blog Party is about taking time for us: setting aside some time to cook (which, clearly, we all love), to prepare appetizers we want to eat but never get around to. And best of all, it's about getting together, albeit via the Web, with like-minded friends."....

   "So this month, we're making our little bites from breakfast dishes. Bite-sized quiches and frittatas, tiny cups of fruit salad...mimosas, champagne cocktails!

Create all your favorite breakfast foods, but in appetizer form. Small bites, for breakfast...at night!"....

This is my first ever blog party.. em.. i dont really know if i'm doing the right thing or not .. but it was just impulsive.. i just wanted to make something..

first up

mini scrambled egg

very very easy to make..
I LOVE scramble egg.. with bacons or ham.. yummmyyy...

ok.. first, get some eggs, crack it in a bowl. Then, add say abt 2 tbsp of milk for each egg .. then add a tiny piny of salt.
Heat the wok, sprinkle some olive oil, wait for it to heat up.
Pour egg mixture, use (i like to use..) chopsticks and just scramble it.. just mix it around till it's all scramble up..
when it's almost done, turn off the fire.. scramble eggs are best served when its abit moisted.. not totally cooked..

ok, so since it's hors d'oeurves.. i decided to put it in spoons.. easier to eat..

get a nice clean soup-spoon, lay baby romaine, or baby cod, or small lettuce.. put in the eggs.. then twist abit of black pepper.. just a LIL bit.. oh.. optional i guess..

Next... ok, this time, i felt like eating spring rolls.. u know those with veges inside.. the ones u eat during yumcha in dim sum restaurants ?? i suddenly felt like eating it.. so i just made it..

ok.. seriously, i dont really know how to make it.. ahha... i just ... whip it up ...=P

Spring Rolls

the ingredients are abit.. messy.. i didn't really measure it.. it was just ... impulsive-kinda-thing.. ok..
so, first... slice some carrots, and sengkuang
chop some green beans, and some button mushrooms.. u can use shitake mushrooms if u want..
Heat wok, pour in some oil, sautee hte carrots and sengkuang. add some oyster sauce
same goes to the beans and mushrooms.. add some pepper / salt
ok.. then get some spring rolls sheet (can be bought in grocery stores)
place a sheet infront of u so it forms a diamond shape, place the vegetables in the middle.. make sure it's not too full..
spread the 4 sides of the spring roll sheet with egg..
roll it from the bottom, fold in the 2 sides on left n right .. then roll again till the top.. make sure hte tip is 'glued' onto
it should form a 'cylinder'..like this

ok.. pour in oil for frying.. wait for it to heat up...
fry the spring rolls till golden brown.
then... eat !

For drinks.. i so wanted to drink some ice lemon tea..hot weather.. crispy spring rolls.. a glass of icy cold ice lemon tea would be great...

- Make breakfast tea. slice some lemon, 3 or 4..
get a tall glass, fill with ice, pour in breakfast tea.. add lemon..
then u get.. this

alright.. that's abt it... my First Blog Party... do drop by Dispensing Happinessa few days later for a round up! and join the party ! tsk tsk

	Stephanie March 16, 2006   12:57 AM PST   Hi Swee San! I'm so happy you could join Blog Party; everything looks fantastic! I agree, scrambled eggs are the *best*. Serving them in spoons makes them perfect. I love your spring rolls...may I ask what sengkuang is? They're so perfect and crispy...and they stay together! I'm still working on my technique; they never come out quite so round...!?! And the tea is great way to finish it off; everything looks great. Thanks for coming to my little party, and by the way...I lovelovelove tomago. You should see the things I've done with it, even turning it into desserts and appetizers!
