Came across this very useful video tutorial on youtube teaching how to make egg rolls using a saucepan and I am addicted to doing it! Tamagoyaki - Eugenie Kitchen The instructions are very clear and easy.

It does not take much time and I can multi task a little while the egg is being cooked. Love it! Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Slice of cheese Salt Pepper 1 Tbsp Water Spring onions (chopped) Recipe 1.

Turn off the heat, cover the pot and it is break time!  ***Go and take a break for 1-2 hours*** 4. After the break, chop the carrots into thin strips. Prepare the minced meat by seasoning it with sesame oil, soy sauce and pepper. 5. Open ...

Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies? Although I like to eat cookies, I rarely have cravings and almost never buy cookies. lol The only time I would buy is probably at Subway but those are the soft chewy type of cookies. Today I am sharing this recipe which is probably closer to the crunchy types. The recipe is adapted from Joey Foo's crunchy chocolate chip ! Ingredients 250g Plain flour 160g Unsalted butter 120g Brown sugar 10g Caster sugar 1 Egg 100g Chocolate chips 1/2 tsp Baking soda 4 tsp Baking powder Pinch of salt Recipe 1. Pre-heat the oven to 160 degree celcius. Put flour, baking soda and powder and salt in a bowl and whisk to mix well. 2. Cream the butter and sugar till pale and fluffy. 3. Add in the egg and mix well. 4. Add in the flour in batches and ensure the flour is well incorporated. (Avoid overmixing as it will result in tough cookies) 5. Finally mix in the chocolate chips.
