English Muffin Sandwich (Microwave style)

I got this recipe somewhere about two years ago. I used to make this for my coworkers for breakfast in the mornings. It's good stuff!

1 english muffin
1 slice cheese
1 egg
2 slices of bacon (ready-to-serve kine)

1) Cut english muffin in half and place only the bottom half on a microwave safe dish. It's easier for the egg if you could cut it so that the bottom has a dent to hold the egg...you'll see why in next step.
2) Crack the egg open and place the cracked egg directly on top of the botton english muffin. (Egg might run off over the muffin, this is fine, you can fix it after it's cooked)
3) place dish in microwave, heat for 30 seconds, then another 10 seconds until egg whites turn, well, white. (don't do this longer than 40 seconds at ONE TIME because the egg yolk might explode, I've been lucky, it hasn't happened to me yet)
4) take out the dish, (you can adjust the spilled cooked eggs back on the bread, if desire) break bacons in half (now you have 4 short bacon), place them evenly on top of egg, then add the slice of cheese, then place the top half of english muffin on the top.
5) place dish back in microwave, heat it for another 20 seconds.
6) serve.

YUM!

Cola Chicken

My mom used to make this for us when I was little. I used to LOVE it! I never did make it, so in an attempt to use up the liter coke we have at home. Here it is!

12 pieces of Chicken wings
Salt and Pepper
1 can coke

Is it really that easy!? YES IT IS!!!

1) sprinkle salt and pepper on chicken, mix well.
2) toss chicken wings in a heated greased small pot or skillet deep enough to hold the cola, cook for about 3 minutes.
3) Stir in the can of coke, and let it boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until sauce evaporates, about 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burn (especially when the sauce is close to evaporation).
4) Serve.

Lil P really enjoyed them! :)

Chicken Egg Rolls

I called this egg rolls because this one have eggs in it! :)

2 small pieces chicken breasts, chopped (can substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
3/4 cups cabbage, shredded
handful of carrots, julienne
1 egg, scrambled (save the last drip of beated egg**, you'll use it to seal the roll at the end)
1 dried shitake mushroom (soaked, drained, and shredded)
dash of garlic salt
dash of black pepper
1 tbsp oyster sauce
spring roll wrappers

1. Marinate chicken with garlic salt and black pepper for a few minutes (you can use this time to shred/cut veggies and scramble the egg)

2. Pan fry chicken until meat no longer pink, add in cut up cabbage, carrot, mushroom, egg, and oyster sauce and mix well, until cabbage is slightly soften. Remove from heat, set aside.

3. Cut spring roll wrapper in half or fourths depending on size (about 4 inches square or 8 inches side of triangle)

4. Place meat mixture (about 1 tbsp worth of mixture)
a) in one corner (if wrapper is square) or
b) the base of the wrapper (if wrapper is triangle)
roll it up covering the mixture once, then fold the sides in, then continue to roll until you reach the tip, seal with egg wash**.

5. Deep fry in oil or bake at 400 degrees (don't forget to flip) until golden brown.

6. Serve with sweet chili sauce.

Chicken Pesto Pizza with Mushrooms and Sundried Tomatoes

I purchased some premade pizza crust from Mama Mary's at the grocery store awhile ago. I made some pizza with the 12" but haven't used the 7" ones. I have always make pepperoni pizzas with olives and mushrooms, since 'lil P likes it. But since he already ate, I decided to make a pesto one for myself and Mr. P.

premade pizza crusts (or make your own)
Pesto
Precook chicken strips (chopped)
Sundried tomatoes (chopped)
mushrooms (sliced)
garlic (minced)
Mozzerella cheese (shredded)

Making pizza is not about measurements, as long as you have a fair share amount of everything...at least that's what I think.

Layering order:

Spread Pesto sauce generously on top of the pizza crust.
Add in mozzerella cheese
Then chicken pieces
Then Sundried tomatoes
Then mushrooms
Then garlic
Top with more cheese

Pop it into the oven at 425 degrees (or following baking direction from the premade crust package) until mozzerella cheese puffs and turning brown.

Serve!
