TV Dinners

Diposting oleh good reading on Sabtu, 04 Agustus 2007

We had TV dinners for the past whole week as there're only the three of us.

It's kind of difficult to cook a proper meal...the usual 2 dish, 1 soup and rice kind of dinners, as I will probably end up with leftover food. Yet, it was quite a task for me to come up with several simple one-pot dishes at a go, which all three of us would enjoy.

We had this Salmon Baked Rice for dinner last night. It's quite an easy dish to prepare...just need to stir fry some onions, fresh button mushrooms and salmon fillets. Place them over cooked rice and pour a can of ready-mixed tomato soup pre-mixed with a raw egg. Top with grated cheese and bake at 200 degC till the cheese turn golden.

This is truly a lazy mom's pasta dish! Angel hair pasta with creamy mushrooms and chicken chunks...cooked with sauce from a can of mushroom soup ;)


These are supposed to be Omu Rice...fried rice wrapped with egg omelet. This was my very first attempt at wrapping fried rice with an omelet. It was a really tricky affair...once the omelet starts to set, you will need to add the rice on top and quickly wrap it up. Thereafter, place a plate over the frying pan and flip the Omu rice over to the plate. I couldn't achieve the signature crescent-moon shape...so they all turned out flat and rectangular.

I added a little too much water to the rice...and the fried rice was a little too sticky :(


Another kid's meal for dinner....rice mixed with fresh salmon flakes, tomato omelet, blanched broccoli and carrots. Extremely healthy for the kids, but it was way too plain for me!

Well, these were not fantastic meals to rave about, and certainly not 'yummylicious'...but we did enjoyed our dinners right in front of the TV, watching my fave Korean drama ;)
