Cooking for Sunday Lunch

As part of my New Year Resolution, I want to prepare a home-cooked meal every week. But sometimes before I realised it, it's the weekend already and I did not plan for it. Anyway, I will continue to try and be better at it.

So yesterday lunch was simple 2 dishes with rice: 

Minced Meat Patties

(Makes 4 patties)

• minced meat ($2.80 worth cos I can't remember the grams)
• 1 onion (small dice)
• 1/2 carrot (small dice)
• Marination:
• Soya Sauce
• Huadiao Wine
• Sesame Oil
• Cornflour

1. Mix the ingredients
2. Marinate the ingredients (put in the fridge overnight)
3. Steam for 20 min
4. Serve (can garnish with mushrooms)

Hubby and I thought the patties were too bland though they let out nice fragrance of the seasoning. I think I did not put enough soya sauce to make it savoury enough because I thought it was safer to have them bland so that we could salvage them later by adding more soya sauce. But then again, for the marination, I did not have any measurement because anything which my mom taught me was "aga aga", means just use my gut feeling. So if next time I prepare this again, I will have to trial and error. 

   

Mushroom Omelette

(Makes 2 omelettes)

• 4 eggs
• pinch of salt
• 1 can of sliced mushrooms
• butter

1. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt
2. Heat the wok, add butter
3. Pour in egg mixture
4. Scatter mushrooms on the omelette
5. Heat until omelette turns golden yellow
6. Serve
