Recently, I have been really thrifty- I try not to eat out often and bring home-packed lunch boxes to work every single day. This is due to the fact that I am saving up to fulfill my mission to try out all sorts of vegetarian delicacies around Singapore.( Sadly, I no longer receive allowance from my parents)
Yes, vegetarian food is getting pricy. I overheard someone exclaiming "Why would I want to pay for a bunch of vegetables" outside a vegetarian restaurant lately. Hm, I guess he would rather pay to have animals killed.
Anyway, let me share with you what I've made lately that I think is post-worthy.
Tofu & egg scramble
|
I placed silken chinese tofu on a cloth to absorb the water |
|
Getting the ingredients ready!
(I ended up using 4 eggs) |

I completed the Tofu egg scramble with canned campbell wild mushroom soup!
(It would have been perfect if I made fresh mushroom soup instead, but..I was too lazy!)
Potato salad!
I love making potato salad. It is hassle-free, healthy, and a perfect side-dish or quick fix for tea-break. I used to take forever to make them, but I found out a short cut! That is to make full use of the rice cooker AND cook the CUBED potatoes as the whole peeled potatoes will take forever to be cooked. |
|
There it is! Cubed potatoes topped with sliced cheddar cheese.
Place this into the rice cooker! |
|
After you are done with the potatoes, you can choose whether or not to cook your celery and carrots or have them raw! |
|
Potato salad with celery and carrots, with roasted almonds and raisins as its topping!
The salad dressing is optional.
For this dish, I mixed in half-spoonful of thousand island sauce and mayonese as well as pepper to taste. After mixing, add in roasted almonds and raisins.
Perfect! :) |
|
I had the salad with a yummy bowl of red bean soup!
Ahh, a filling meal without having to feel all bloated up. :) |

I'll end this post with my lovely cat who refused to face the camera.
Tigger heard someone at the door! :) |
