Sardine Sandwich

 Every morning your dad makes breakfast for us.  This morning, it is sardine sandwich make with our non-stick electric sandwich maker.

To make the sandwich taste better, he spread butter on each piece of bread before spreading the sardine. This is how how the sardine sandwich will turn out.

If you are able to get up early enough to make this sandwich for us, this is my recipe for the sardine.

I like to add Worcestershire sauce because its vinegar and tamarind content make my sardine taste more sourish, which is the way I like it. If I run out of it, I will use white vinegar.

I am very particular about the can of sardine I use. Currently, my go to brand is from Lotus as the sardine is still flaky when it is being mashed up with a fork.

Don't buy the other house brand under Value, they also carry. It is too mushy for my liking, 

One can of sardine cooked with onion can be stored in my 420ml glass container which I received as a gift from Signature Market.

It is safe to store the cooked sardine in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container. It can be eaten with rice too. This is what is left of the sardine after the sandwiches have been made.

Whether or not you make use of an electric sandwich maker, these are other ingredients you can add to enhance the flavour of your sandwich:

-sliced tomatoes.
-sliced cucumber.
-fresh produce like coriander, lettuce, celery or avocado.
-pickles.
-sliced or chopped hard-boiled eggs.
-cheese.
-sauces like mayonnaise or chilli sauce.

This is how you use an electric sandwich maker to make your sandwich.

If you do not want to use the electric sandwich maker, you can toast my home made bread with sardine spread over it in the airfryer.  It will taste even better if you roll the sardine up in puff pastry to airfry. Making your own puff pastry takes time. You can buy them ready made. This is my go to brand.

Korean Street Food Bell Peppers Dish

I shared before how I cooked my Korean Street Food Inspired Bell Peppers Dish.  I cooked them so that my husband can eat them with bread for breakfast.

Recently, I discovered that I can make fried rice with this dish too.  I beat an egg or two into it to cook scrambled egg before adding cooked rice to the mixture to cook.

The dish can also be used to make a pan sheet meal with wraps.  You can see how it is made by watching this video.

Breakfast Expectations in the Family

We used to go out for breakfast every morning.  So, we have a wide variety of food to choose from depending on whether we eat at a kopitiam or at the mamak shop.  We stopped doing that during Covid-19 pandemic.

  

This is the kind of breakfast I would like to make for my family.  Quick and easy. All the easier if I can make it in the airfryer.

This is the kind of breakfast my daughter wish I can make.  Preferbly buns with ingredients she enjoys eating incorporated.

I have to rush to the bike shop after cooking lunch and dinner for the family.  So, this is how she will be geting her bread.  Easy with the breadmaker or store bought buns.
