Good day to you all my tutors and learners here on hive.
I remain this humble soul who is always ready to appreciate my existence on the surface, once we realize that staying alive is never by our power or might then we know that all we have to do in life is to thank God for his mercy and grace over us.
There are three important things to our existence in life and I think without any of them one's lifetime could get shorter. The three essentials are Air, Food, and Water. These three things have played a great role in humanity.
So today I would be discussing how I prepared my breakfast this morning and that’s FRIED EGG AND FRIED NOODLES.
Many times when I hear people say fried egg, one type of egg comes to my mind. When the egg is fried just like the one Mum does prepare for us to eat bread. That was the only type of fried egg I knew. And I also know about boiled eggs.
But gradually, I came to realize the fried egg I have been calling fried egg was not the ideal fried egg 😂. And there are other different kinds of eggs out there. So the one mum prepares for us is called omelette.
There is poached egg, scrambled egg, soft-boiled egg, hard-boiled egg, omelette, and the fried egg itself 😂. Hehe.
Maybe next week I will make practice on all these types of eggs. 😂 there are some I haven’t tasted at all. 😂.
Let’s journey as I prepared my fried egg and noodles
INGREDIENTS
- NOODLES
- EGG
- PEPPER
- SEASONINGS
- SALT
- OIL
- WATER
- ONIONS AND SPICES (optional)
PREPARATION
STEP 1: Prepare the noodles first.
Boil the water in a pot till it gets hot, not hot that it has begun to boil. When it starts steaming that’s okay, all we need is the steam to make the noodles soft and palatable.
Add the noodles to the steamed water then cover up for some minutes, depending on how soft or hard you want the noodles to be. I left mine for 5 minutes.
STEP 2: Prepare the fried egg.
Get a non-stick pan for frying and heat it on the fire for a few minutes till it gets hot. Crack the egg carefully to make sure the yolk is intact. If cracked anywhere or anyhow the yolk might lose form and won’t form a nice fry.
I cracked it in a separate pan so I can have control over how I spread the egg whites and the yolk.
Add some oil to the hot non-stick pan. Butter could be used in place of the oil. But I used oil. When the oil gets a little hot then make sure to spread it across all parts of the pan.
Next thing is to add the egg into the pan. The egg white should go first before the yolk. So that the egg whites could get cooked and you have the chance to center your yolk wherever you want.
Allow the egg to get fried a little. It depends on your taste at this level, you can allow it to go brown or leave it white and fluffy. I love it halfway done. But the yolks should be fried too.
This made me turn it over so the egg yolk could get heated a little then I turned it over again.
Then after that, I seasoned it with some chili pepper 🌶️ and seasoning to taste. My fried egg is done. Oooh. Looks yummy 🤤 😋
STEP 3: Back to noodles preparation.
After the noodles were steamed for a few minutes, I poured them into a sieve to separate the steamed noodles from the water. After that, I left it in the sieve for some time to make it drain.
I added some oil to the pan for frying the noodles. Allow the oil to get a little hot, you can put the fire at a low heat level to avoid the noodles getting burnt. Then I seasoned the noodles and added some chili 🌶️ powder in it too.
At this stage you can fry your onions and any other spices you like to add to the oil before adding the noodles. But as for mine, I am not using any. After adding the seasonings I made sure I mixed it well by shaking it.
Add the noodles to the hot oil, spread it, and leave it to get heated for some minutes, after that stir well by turning it over so other parts can get done too. After stirring to satisfaction then it is ready to be served.
I served my fried noodles and fried egg. Ready to eat.
THE END PRODUCT
