Carla's Fried Rice

We had leftover rice from last night and that's because i deliberately cook enough to last me and Camille one day (mga tamad kasi). However, we ended up eating sandwiches instead.

Anyways, since we woke up late, I decided to cook up some brunch with whatever we got in the fridge. I remembered mamil saying she loved chowking's chao fan, so I decided to make my version of beef chao fan.

Ingredients:
cold cooked rice
ground beef
egg
garlic, onions and bell pepper
salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce
hot sauce
butter

Preparation:

1. On a non-stick pan, heat a half tablespoon of butter.
2. Whisked 1 egg, added salt and pepper to taste
3. Scrambled them to shreds and set them aside on a plate
   
4. On the same pan, heat a tablespoon of butter
   
5. Saute minced garlic, onions and strips of bell pepper
6. Add the ground beef (since i was cooking for two, i added only a handful) and cooked it for about 5 minutes.
7. Add 2 cups of rice and saute again
8. Add the eggs, then season to taste - a dash of hot sauce, a few dashes of worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Microwave brownies

I resigned from work last June 26. Now i am enjoying doing nothing; just busy being a bum. I really have nothing to do and i rarely go out these days too. I blame it on this condo unit. You see, it has a kitchen with an oven!!! (and cable and internet). :D

Anyways, i was so bored so i decided to head out and go to unimart. I was actually aimlessly strolling around the grocery wondering what to buy when i ended up on the pancakes and brownies section. Hmmmm...

Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup coco powder
1/2 cup substitute sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Melt butter in a pan on a low flame and cool. Add the sugar and stir well to combine.
2. Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and coco powder then add it to the butter mixture. Mix them well.
3. Add the eggs, keep mixing until smooth.
4. Add the vanilla and mix well.
5. Put the mixture into the microwave safe 8" square bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes.
6. (but better bake it for 3 and a half minutes first and check wita tooth pick before you continue, since it might be cook already)

(So much for the oven. When I finally returned to the pad, I actually got lazy and decided to do a microwave brownie. Its really fast and easy eh. Hehe.)
