Simple Salmon Fried Rice

I saw this recipe from Nami of Just One cookbook one morning. This is such a simple and easy recipe with the ingredients just within reach but the taste is out of this wold. Simple but yet so tasty. I fixed the kids lunch in a jiffy. Thank you so much Nami, you recipe helped me a make a quick and delicious and also healthy lunch for my kids. I tweaked the recipe a little based on what I had in my refrigerator.

Ingredients 

some left over teriyaki Salmon, cut into medium sized cubes
2 cups day-old cooked rice (I used the Korean medium grain rice)
1 green onion, chopped
1 red chilly, sliced thinly
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp white pepper powder
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Directions

1. In a hot pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Pour the beaten eggs into the hot oil and quickly scramble the eggs. Transfer the eggs to a bowl.
2. In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the chopped green onions and red chilly.
3. Once the green onions and chilly are slightly wilted and aromatic, add in the teriyaki salmon and stir well.
4. Next add in the cold rice and scrambled eggs, salt, white pepper powder and soy sauce and mix well. Stir fry the rice until all the ingredients are well mixed.
5. Dish the fried rice and serve.

Cream Cheese Wontons

I always look to Fridays and I always like to celebrate Fridays with my family. Last day of school, last day of work, last day for everything  for the week and two full days of holidays. This Friday I was planning on going to the mall with my family, do some shopping and have some chinese food. At the last minute, I thought to myself why not have the food at home and then watch a movie at home. I had also just finished watching 2 videos on how to make fried loh mien and cheese wontons. Great, we will have Panda Express at home! I made cream cheese wontons and fried noodles. The cream cheese wontons tasted so great and it such a simple recipe. I used regular cream cheese but the next time I do this, I will make it with low fat cream cheese, because I cant stop at one.

Ingredients

1 block of cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tsp sugar
some chopped scallions and some chopped red chillies
some wonton wrapper
oil for deep frying

Directions

1. Mix cream cheese and sugar with a whisk or spatula until it is smooth.
2. Mix in the chopped scallions and red chillies
3. Wet the edges of a wonton wrapper and put about 1 tsp of cream cheese mixture in the middle. 
4. Fold the edges of the wonton wrappers and deep fry it on medium high heat.

Note:
Dont put too much cheese filling in the wonton wrapper because the filling might come out while frying.
