It’s funny how breakfast can be many different things. In China they love their rice congees, noodles, dumplings and more. I decided to try making a spicy pork bowl with some leftover spinach, red bell pepper, ground pork and homemade Shanghai Red Pepper Sauce from one of my favourite cookbooks… which I topped with some diced cucumber. I had it with some egg flower soup and a tangy cucumber tomato salad on the side. It’ll make a nice work breakfast, and maybe some after work lunch too. I also washed it down with some Oolong tea I recently ordered, in fact I’ve been experimenting with different types of Oolong, though I’ll probably save that for a different post. Tea can be it’s own topic when it comes to my collection. 😛
Noodles
From The Creator of Breakfast Curry: Lunch Curry
I had a bunch of extra vegetables around, and was still in a curry kind of mood today. When lunch came around I sacrificed one of my chicken breasts for a green chicken curry with rice noodles. I made it mild, stomach hasn’t been nice to me today. Fortunately I also made the breakfast curry mild too. 😛 I’ve also been living on chai today. Started the morning off with a Canadian Maple Chai, and ended the day with some Rooibos Chai. I already have breakfast curry packed up for tomorrow morning along with some grapes, crackers and peanut butter dip. That should keep me plenty fueled tomorrow morning, even the tea has caffeine. I’m Ret 2 Go.
I’m thinking of taking the other chicken breasts and using them in a baked chicken recipe, involving some gouda cheese and prosciutto.
A Meal Well Seasoned
I had some Shrimp lying around in the freezer, and green curried rice sounded nice. So I made that for dinner tonight along with some veggies.
This is a Thai inspired hot and sour salad. I didn’t have all the vegetables I needed in order to make it, but it still tasted fine to me.
For a light dessert type thing I had a green chai with coconut milk and a little honey. This particular chai blend has almonds in it, complimenting the green tea and the coconut milk.
The best part is that I have plenty of leftovers for after work. I’ve been doing milkshakes in the afternoon the last couple of days and it’ll be nice to have some noodles to greet me after work.
