Bak Kwa Onion French Omelette ~ 肉干洋葱煎蛋卷

This is my first attempt at making a French omelette.  A French omelette is rolled up into an oval or cylindrical shape before serving.  I've surfed the internet for many versions of how some chefs whipped up this omelette with ease.  I managed to pick up some tips here and there and came up with my Bak Kwa Onion French Omelette.




Bak Kwa Onion French Omelette  ~  肉干洋葱煎蛋卷   
Ingredients
  • 3 eggs + 1/2 tsp water
  • 30 gm bak kwa bits
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • Salt and Pepper
Method
  1. Using a fork, whisk up the eggs with 1/2 tsp water.  (Adding water will help to break up the protein and fluff up the eggs a little).  Whisk till no egg whites are visible.  Add in a bit of salt and a dash of pepper.
  2. Heat up some oil and lightly pan-fry the onions and bak kwa bits.
  3. Dish up and set aside.
  4. Heat up a non-stick pan on medium heat, lightly pour the beaten eggs onto the pan.  Stir the eggs in circular movement and shake the mixture to cook evenly on low heat.
  5. Lightly pat the eggs and when the top surface of eggs is thickened and no visible liquid of egg is left, pour the onion filling on one side of the omelette and slowly fold and roll it up.  
  6. Then flip the roll onto a serving plate.
  7. Serve immediately.

Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes ~ 2013

For a change, I tried  using a premix to make these Snow skin mooncakes and for colour opted to go natural and use the Bunga Telang or Blue-pea flower.   Indeed the purple colour from the flowers was very distinct on its own but once mixed with the flour, I was rather disappointed. It turned out to be blue instead of purple.  Well, the consolation is that the colour is natural.   Taste wise, I would still prefer to make the Snow skin from scratch rather than use a premix. Recipe for Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes Ingredients 250 gm of QQ Snow mooncake premix (1 packet is 500 gm)  14 gm shortening Bunga Telang/Blue pea flower 220 ml water Pandan and Lotus mooncake paste 25 gm melon seeds, lightly toasted to be mixed into the paste Method ( as per instructions on the packet ) Wash the Bunga Telang and boil with 220 ml water, once boiled, discard the flowers and ...
