1. heat the wok, add oil and make a traditional scrambled egg. Set aside.

2. Add oil on the used pan. Saute the onions, carrots and leeks.

3. Put the rice on the wok and stir consistently. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Mix the scrambled egg to the rice. Leave it for a minute.

5. Serve.

So this would be my dinner for tonight. Yum! I'm ready to pack my things for Palawan!!:D

Pan Fried Fish Fillet in White Nido Sauce

I'll be heading for Coron, Palawan tomorrow with my family and relatives to get some vacation before my advance summer class starts. Yes it sucks lol. My things weren't packed yet. I'm excited but I'm even more enthusiast on preparing my mise en place for tonights dinner. May the Almighty guide our trip tomorrow!

Since were off soon, I'm not surprised to find just a piece of debonned fish in the fridge. After settling it down to warm, I ran to the stores nearby to get my ingredients and get started.

You'll need:

500g Fish Fillet ( I suggest cream dory)
2 eggs
2 crab sticks
2 tofu
1-2 slices of lemon or calamansi
stalk of onion leeks

Salt and Pepper

Flour

Bread Crumbs

stock

1. First marinade the fish with salt, pepper and 1-2 slices of lemon or calamansi for about 20 minutes. 

2. Prepare three containers for the egg, flour and bread crumbs. Coat the fish with egg, flour and bread crumbs in order.

3. Fry them until golden brown. This would take about 2-3 mins on each side. ( Frying time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. )

4. Plate them and prepare for the sauce.

***Sauce***

5. Get a new pan and boil the stock with the crab stick. Add a pinch of salt.

6. When the crab stick starts to soften ( eventually it will spread into fine strips ) add the leeks.

7. add flour to thicken sauce. Let it simmer for a minute

8. Serve.

ps ignore the egg yolks in the pic.

How to make soy milk at home ( Soya )

I was looking for a great alternative for whey protein and creatine since it costs a bit high for me. My research resulted to one entry. Soy milk! After a bit of study I finally knew how to make one. You would probably think that its hard to make soy milk since it was not commonly a homegrown recipe. You would prefer ordering from the man who yells "tahooo" lol. But just so you know it was easy making one.

You'll need:

250g soy beans

2L water

6-7 Tbs white or brown sugar

pinch of salt
juice blender
cheesecloth or any fine sifter

optional: vanilla

First step. soak the soy beans into a large bowl filled with water for about 12 hours. Make sure that the container has enough water because the beans would absorb the water.

Second step. Get your blender ready. Grind the soybeans with a 125g is to 1L ratio.

( I know we have the same thing in mind: soak the beans the afternoon you planned it and grind it the next day for some fresh soy milk for breakfast lol. )

After grinding it you would probably see 3 layers in your blending machine, the foam above, the milk in the middle and the residue below.

Third step. After grinding the soybeans to the consistency in the picture above, were now ready to sift the milk from the settlements. It is best if you use a cheesecloth for straining. Trust me. you would hate to have rough parts on your drink.

Fourth step. Boil the soy milk for about 10-15 mins. Add 6 Tablespoons of sugars for 2 liters of soy milk and a pinch of salt while boiling.

Final Step. Serve hot or chilled! You can also add flavors like vanilla essence or chocolate. Soy milks can last 3 days in the fridge without added preservatives
