Funnily enough, this meal was calculated by my dining companion to have only cost four dollars to feed the both of us.
Ridicerous...yeah, I still get organic eggs, bitches.
Go team economic crisis and being casualties of the recession!
And funnily enough, the best thing I have eaten all week.
Steamed Chinese sausage, sliced up. Check out those little pools of saturated fat spilling on the chopping board.
Choi Sum stir fried in oyster sauce
The spread, banquet style. Soy and chili hidden on the side
Mine!
Poor Man Linner
Serves 2-3 people
Medium grain rice, washed
small handful of dried shittake mushrooms
2 tsp of dried shrimp
1 1/2 chinese sausages
3 eggs
1/2 bunch of garlic chives, roughly chopped
salt
white pepper
1/2 bunch of choi sum
oil
soy sauce
oyster sauce
chili and soy sauce to serve
Put the rice , mushrooms and shrimp into the rice cooker with the right amount of water. Place the Chinese sausage over the top, in the water to allow to steam while the rice cooks.
When the rice is ready, remoe the sausage, slice and set aside. Fluff the rice and allow to sit for 10 minutes while you cook off the rest of the meal.
Whip the eggs in a bowl till you break the yolks and add the chives. Stir till thorough and add salt and pepper to taste. Fry off in a heavy based pan or a wok on high heat till cooked, trying to keep it in a thickish slab, around 1/2-1cm thick.
Wash and dry the choi sum, sectioning it into edible lengths. Heat oil in a wok or heavy based pan over high heat and add the vegetables with a dash of soy. Cover with the lid for 30-60 seconds and allow to steam till it has cooked. Add the oyster sauce to taste, turn off the heat and stir.
Serve with the dishes separated and allow people to help themselves to what/how much they want on top of their rice. Dig out that hidden beer.
