皮蛋瘦肉粥 #2 Lean Meat Porridge with Century Egg #2

This is again a porridge of century egg. 

Yet, this time, I incorporated the 2 century eggs into the rice for simmering from the beginning.  The century eggs were cut into 4 quarters, together with some minced lean meat.  I expected the porridge to be murky and darker coloured, because of the century eggs.   Yet, it turned out quite fair !  And it doesn't smells unpleasant too.

A little bit of salt and msg, and its another mouth-watering dinner !

p.s.

I checked the century eggs sold in Jusco Taman Equine.  Its RM3.90 for 4 piece, i.e. RM0.975/piece.

The Singapore's century eggs cost S$7 for 20 pieces, i.e S$0.35.  Convert to Malaysian Ringgit @ rate of 2.4, its RM0.84/piece. 

OMG !  Singapore's century eggs are really cheaper than Malaysian's

How can that be ? 

Well, I believe our government will surely compare the price with other development countries, and concluded that our century eggs are among the cheapest !

( OMG ! = Oh My Government ! )

皮蛋瘦肉粥 Lean Meat Porridge with Century Egg

Lean meat porridge is best served with century egg. 

But, in a real century egg porridge, the century egg is simmered with lean pork meat and rice until the rice become porridge.   

I have bought a box of century egg during my recent trip to Singapore.  A box of it contains 20 pieces of this preserved duck egg coated in mud-rice husk mixture. 

Century eggs from Singapore ?   Well, the century eggs are actually imported from China, but apparently they are more fresh than those in Malaysian market, and cheaper too ( S$7 for 20 pieces )
Seems like there will be more recipies of century eggs ......

Peanut Rice Porridge 花生粥

Peanut rice porridge is another of my favourites. It's another way to cook peanut soup... just add in some rice to make it a porridge. Another lazy-man dish... suites me lah.

.

Ingredients :

250g rice

100g peanut

100g lean pork meat, chopped/grinded

2.5liter water

some dried squid

last but not least, of course, some salt and MSG for taste

.

Methods :

1. All ingredients into a pot…. ( duh ! of course ~ ~ )

2. Bring to boil….. careful, it will bubble, don’t let it overspill

3. Reduce the flame, simmer it for about 1 hour… till the peanut softened. Stir a bit if necessary, to avoid burnt at bottom. The peanuts take longer time to cook, maybe can pre-cooked the peanuts first.

4. Lastly, add salt and pepper and MSG to taste
