Yum- Khai- Dao (A Fried Egg Salad from Thailand)

For 2

In a deep bottom pan, heat oil. When the oil is hot, break open an egg and empty contents (yolk n albumen) directly in the pan. It may splutter a bit. When the edges start getting dark brown, take it out n let the oil drain. Similarly fry the other egg. You may like your yolk fully cooked or slightly creamy.

For the salad:

2 kaffir lemon leaves

2 lemon grass stems, only the bottom part where the leaves are joined, thinly sliced. U may retain the upper stalks for any soup.

2 teaspoon lemon juice

4 teaspoon fish oil

Half a tomato cut into small cubes

1/4^th of a cucumber, diced

Few Coriander leaves

2 green chillies

A large pinch of chicken powder

Salt to taste

Cut the fried eggs in small squares. Toss together all the above ingredients. And your salad is ready. Feel free to add onions, spring onions, lettuce and any other vegetable u fancy in your salad, just slice them thinly. Have it on your toast or as a full meal. Njoy!

Lemon juice may be adjusted to taste. 

An Intro

I never thought that I would be doing a food blog. But then I think this is one of the most  natural things to happen, what with me n hubby , both being food lovers. I learnt cooking at a very old age. I am one of those people who endure living on Maggi n Knorr soups just so they don’t have to cook. But wedding and moving in with hubby changed things. I am off work, have nothing to do, love my hubby and hence love to cook for him. Being self- admittedly amazed by my successful experiments (I am not elaborating on  the not- so- successful ones) I post pix on FB. The over- whelming demand for recipes is compelling me to put it down for every one’s reference. Right now, I don’t even know if I will continue posting, but then if you respond well… maybe I will . J So, encourage me.. plzz..

Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor do I aspire to be one. I am a lazy bum, hence you will find only easy recipes in my blog. I often cut corners when I feel like it, instead of doing things elaborately. At the end of the day what matters is that the food should be well- cooked and taste good, whether it looks good is immaterial. :P
