Pita Bread

Today's dish - Pita Bread




The ingredients u need are:

The pita bread, of course:


And also carrots, cucumber, red onions, garlic, big onions, beef / chicken & cabbage / lettuce
1st of all, reheat / toast the pita bread:


Then, fry the garlic and red onions, until fragrant.
Next, add in the minced beef / chicken (i prefer beef, its nicer).
Make sure the beef / chicken is cooked before adding the carrots / cabbage.

Add in your prefered sauce as well (eg. Barbecue sauce, steak sauce, terriyaki sauce. black pepper sauce, tobbasco sauce, chilli sauce, tomato sauce & etc.)
Dont forget to add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the flame once the carrot is soft. Let the mixture cool down while the beef absorb the flavours.
Meanwhile, grease the toasted pita bread with mayonese / thousand island sauce.
Next, sprinkle the finely sliced big onions and cucumber onto the pita.


While the mixture is still warm, place it evenly onto the pita bread with onions and cucumber ready as the base. Add in lettuce before squeezing a layer of sauce to enhance the flavour.


Fold it and its ready to be served. (serve with salad - optional)


Dont forget to gulp it down while its still warm.


A smile on the face is the best feedback a chef can have. (Action speaks louder than words) :P
Hope you can try out this simple dish one day.

Potato Salad

This time, i'm going to share with u all, the potato salad. This is a simple and yet delicious dish to make for party or even normal dinner.


The pictures below will guide u, i hope.



Mayonnaise, Rice Vinegar (Black vinegar can be used too), Tomato Sauce & Black Pepper.
(Butter can be added to bring out the flavours and to smooth the potatoes)



1st, boil the unpeeled potatoes with salt water, until the potatoes are soft.
(Tips: once the potatoes are done, transfer them into chilled / cool water for easier peeling of the skin later)


Then, boil the eggs, this can be done simultaneously with the potatoes, provided the pot / pan is large enough.


Meanwhile, fry the lunchoen meat / ham until cripsy golden brown.
(In my case, i use lunchoen meat, cause ham is damn expensive in M'sia)


After removal of the potato skin, cube them together with the peeled eggs. Place them into a big mixing bowl / pot.


Next, finely chop some spring onions / green shallots.
(Add a lot of spring onions if u like the taste. It'll do wonderful job in the potato salad.)

Now, chopping the luncheon meat. (The meat tense to scream in pain when i cut them.) *That's the sound effect from the crispy-ness of the luncheon meat*

Finally, place all the potatoes, eggs, spring onions, luncheon meat, maiyonese, black pepper, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup and butter (if desired) in a large bowl / pot. Mix well.

The final product.

(Note: This salad can be served right away, while its still hot, or served chilled, after refrigerated.)
