Growing Tulips on Rice

This is my first posting on my son's dinner after my long disappearance from the blogsphere, not that I wanted to.

Anyway, I find the tulips very cheery. Can you tell they are tulips? At least they do like like flowers. If you are wondering how I got the quails eggs to be so colourful ... I dye them with food colourings. Just one drop will do the trick. Dilute with water to get a lighter tone.

Other than eggs, Broccoli wrapped with Ham and Tofu and Fish Paste wrapped with Nori were in his dinner plate too.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tube Egg Tofu, smashed
  • 100g Fish Paste
  • 2 - 3 tablespoon Peas
  • Nori, cut into strips for wrapping
  • Oil for frying
How to do it:
  1. Mix all ingredients except nori together.
  2. Scoop some paste and wrap it with nori.
  3. See here for instructions or you can wrap it like a spring roll.
  4. Pan fry for 3 minutes each on both sides.
  5. Dish and serve.
Note:
You can use corn or carrots instead of peas or all 3! Colourful!!

  8. Sorry Jean. There's no short cut for this. Have to use a small and pointed knife to do this.
