My Very Own Foo Yoong Egg

Whoa.. it's been so long since my last post..
Ok.. lets get going...
I will tell you a bit about my 1st cooking experience.

Not like I'm a good chef nor like to cook foods, but last few weeks ago I was eagerly want to eat one of my favourite food which is Foo Yoong Egg and I don't know where to find it in Singapore. What to do, I'm a bachelor and nobody will cook for me T__T. Ok, so I've decided to learn how to cook it from my friend, and try to experiment a little bit. Hehe, wise man said that "When there is a will there will be a way." So, allow me to share the cooking experience with you all.

What is Foo Yoong Egg? Basically its only an egg, much like an omelet, but it has special sauce on it. Some people prefer to put lots of chili on the sauce, and some prefer to put only tomato on the sauce.

Its not a complex food to make, but for me its already require lots of effort to make it, because I never cook before.

According to my friend, the recipe consists of 2 parts, which are the egg and the sauce. The egg is mixed with some ingredients, more or less like an omelet. My version of the egg ingredients is egg, onion, abbage, garlic, pork meat, and carrot.

I started to mix 3 eggs in a bowl, and put diced onion and garlic. As soon as they mixed, I cooked the meat pork, and put the meat to the egg after it turned white (pork meat turns to white when its done right?) After its done, I cut the cabbage, and the carrot, to very small pieces (this part took me for 40 minutes to able to cut them into small pieces >,<"), and put them into the egg. Mixed them really well and put some salt, and pepper in it. Ok, the egg is ready; let's cook them in the pan. Whoaa.. it was not easy to cook the egg, especially to cook the top side of the egg. Who will ever thought that lifting the egg, and making it upside down is a hard thing to do >,<>,<

Total cooking time: 1 hour of beginner like me >,<
Result: 1 plate of Foo Yoong Egg, and a burnt hand.


Perhaps you may want to try it by yourself.. Off course without the burnt hand part ^__^
