Easy Peasy Long Beans Porridge

I like to go all vegetarian quite a bit when I'm home, 
because it's easy and healthy!
Warning: This dish is very vegetarian, so unless you 
love greens very much, I wouldn't recommend it.
Long Beans Porridge


Long Beans Porridge (20 mins preparation, Total = Min. 30 mins)
Long beans
Rice (1 cup per person, if you're a fairly big eater)
Eggs (1 egg per person)
Soya sauce
Salt
  1. Wash the long beans by rubbing each bean individually, then cut off the ends.
  2. Cut the beans into tiny sizes.
  3. Beat the eggs and add in 1 teaspoon of soya sauce.
  4. Get your magic saver cooker out and wash the rice in it.
  5. Add in the eggs and long beans.
  6. Bring the whole thing to a boil; every now and then before it boils, give it a few stirs to prevent the porridge from sticking to the pot. Once it boils, add salt, stir and let it continue boiling for another 5 minutes.
  7. Put the pot into the magic saver cooker and let it self-cook for 30 minutes.
  8. If in a rush, just use a normal pot and let it boil all the way until cooked. Stirring is a must to prevent the porridge from sticking to the pot and burning.
  9. Serve.

Just use whatever there is in the fridge.

Mee Hoon with Long Beans and Eggs

Mee Hoon with Long Beans and Eggs (30 mins)
Mee hoon
Long beans
Garlic
Eggs
Soy sauce
  1. Soak the mee hoon in a basin of water.
  2. Wash the long beans by rubbing each bean under running water.
  3. Dice them or slice them longwise, whichever you prefer, although my friend Yoong says that slicing longwise is aesthetically better.
  4. Crush, chop and dice 3 cloves of garlic.
  5. Beat the eggs into a bowl together with a teaspoon of soy sauce and some pepper.
  6. Heat up the non-stick frying pan, pour in some oil.
  7. Fry the garlic until they get a little golden brown.
  8. Throw in the long beans and stir-fry them for a bit.
  9. Then add in the mee hoon and then the eggs. 
  10. Stir it all to ensure they're all well-mixed.
  11. Before dishing it out, add soy sauce so that the mee hoon will have some flavour and colour.
  12. Serve.
