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.

Korean Fish Cake Eomuk

My daughter is off to college and I am missing her so much. I just wished that she was somewhere close enough for me to visit her over the weekend.  Feeling a bit empty inside and after cross mad with the boys for messing up the house, as usual, i started visiting some of my favorite cooking Youttube channels. I came across this fish cake recipe in Maangchi's youtube channel.  I had some of the main ingredients in my freezer and all I had to do was modify the recipe a bit based on what I had at home and fix this before the dad comes home from work. It took something like 15 minutes to make the fish paste and another 15 minutes to fry it. Pretty quick right. It tasted really good.

Ingredients

1/2 lb cod fish fillet or hake or any white fleshed fish fillet
1/2 lb shelled prawns and deveined
1/4 cup white onion
1 large egg white
2 garlic pips
1 tsp white pepper powder
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil

Directions

1. Put all the ingredients into the blender and blitz it for about 2 mins or until all the ingredients come to a smooth paste.
2. Heat up some cooking oil on medium heat. Take about 1/3 a cup of fish paste and flatten it over the back of an oiled spatula.
3. Start rolling the fish paste from the wider edge a bit by bit until it form a long roll and drop it gently into the oil.
4. Fry until the fish cake is cooked and evenly browned. Drain any excess oil on a paper towel. The fish cake will float when it is cooked.
5. The fish cake tastes good on its own without any condiments.
