Menarikkan?? 

Cabaran memasak setiap minggu memang berlainan. Adakalanya kita nampak mudah tapi sebenarnya jika kita tahu teknik memasak dengan betul masakan yang dihasilkan pasti menjadi sedap dan sempurna. Contohnya dalam teknik menggoreng, suhu minyak sangat penting bagi memastikan hasil gorengan kita menjadi ranggup dan lembut. Saya juga belajar, sekiranya minyak terlalu panas, untuk mengurangkan kepanasan kita perlu tambah dengan minyak sejuk. Begitu juga bahan yang menggunakan agen asid makanan seperti tomato tidak boleh dikombinasikan dengan lemon dan sewaktu dengannya. Dalam menghasilkan kuah marinara/spagethi yang sedap, penggunaan minyak zaitun sangat penting. Ianya mampu meningkatkan rasa kesedapan hidangan yang disediakan.

Dalam senarai cabaran yang diberikan kepada peserta, saya paling suka dengan tema dalam Kid's Week. Apatah lagi bahan yang perlu digunakan adalah dari kotak misteri :)

Cuma di sini saya nak kongsikan satu hidangan yang digemari oleh My Amani. Yup, my Amani memang suka makan makanan yang berasaskan telur, selain daripada telur direbus separuh masak, omelette. Saya juga suka mevariasikan cara masakan yang dicampurkan bahan lain dengan telur.

Menghiris bawang. Tip:  Bawang nampak lebih halus dengan mengiris dengan cara menegak. Selain itu potongan cara ini penampilan bawang lebih kemas, *ececece

Telur dipecahkan dulu dalam mangkuk berasingan. Dikhuatiri adanya kotoran kita boleh bersihkan terus.

Dipukul sehingga kembang...Saya suka menggunakan garfu telur mudah dipukul kembang

Kali ni saya goreng telur bersama cendawan Abalone

Goreng dengan menggunakan sedikit minyak zaitun.

Masukkan segala semua bahan..

Campurkan 3 bahan perasa utama dalam kuantiti yang berpatutan ~ sos tiram, kicap cair dan kicap seasoning.

Sebab kita dah gunakan bahan perisa yang ada rasa masin. Penambahan garam tidak diperlukan.

Boleh makan panas-panas begitu sahaja. Ataupun makan bersama nasi mahupun roti.
