Electric Lunch Box (ELB) Series 电热饭盒系列: Half Boiled Egg 半生熟蛋

As we know, half boiled egg is a very common dish serve in Malaysia's Kopitiam. Egg has essential nutrients like protein, riboflavin [1-3] and selenium. Most people are scared in indulging this rich powerful food, given reason that eating eggs daily can cause high cholesterol or blamed for containing a host of micro-organisms, such as salmonellas, or for being the cause of diathesis [2]; however the truth is that consuming regularly can reduce cholesterol levels. It is a proven fact that egg yolk has a component called lecithin, which is effective against sclerosis since it compresses the cholesterol levels [1,4]. Why Please find out more from the link below...

I tested the SEED Electrical Lunch Box (in short ELB) to make a few half boiled eggs for my children. The heating elements boil water very efficiently. I think within 60 seconds...This is fantastic not only for half boiled eggs but for instant noodles as well...I pour water into the heating elements, placed the eggs on the given tray stand, close the lid then start to heat up. I found that if you make half boiled eggs with preheat ELB should be a lot faster. It maybe become soft boiled eggs. haha.

Watch out your hands when you remove the lid after heating for sometimes. Becareful...

我们大家都知道,半生熟蛋是一种很常见的其中一样马来西亚Kopitiam特色早餐于。鸡蛋具有必需的营养物质样蛋白,核黄素 [1-3]和硒。大多数人都不敢放纵享用这种强大丰富的功能食品,给出的理由,每天吃鸡蛋会导致高胆固醇或指责含有基质的微生物,如沙门氏菌,或为是素质的原因 [2]。 然而,事实是,经常食用可降低胆固醇水平。 事实证明蛋黄中有一个叫卵磷脂成分,可以压缩的胆固醇水平是有效对抗硬化[1,4]。为什么??请按下面的链接以了解更多...

我测试了SEED电饭盒(简称ELB)煮一些半生熟蛋给我的孩子。ELB的加热元件烧水非常有效。我认为60秒就可以把水烧开......我将水倒入加热元件,放在鸡蛋上给定的托盘架,盖上盖子,然后开始升温。我发现,如果你预热ELB再煮鸡蛋应该是快很多。看好时间,它可能变软煮鸡蛋。哈哈。


加热处理, 取下锅盖时,当心你的手。。。好烫噢!!!





My kids love to eat  5 minutes cooked eggs, 3 minutes may be too raw to eat...Well, you may  try.

我们家宝贝们爱吃5分钟熟成蛋, 3分钟熟成可能太生了吧。。。因人而异。。。不妨试一试。

Japanese Food: Part 1

I am a Japanese food lover since day one I tried Japanese food at Japanese Restaurant (But I really could not recall where I had for the first time. aiya symptom of old age ). Not only dining but also love to prepare Japanese food. This is far far earlier even before I got to know my Otousan (my Godfather Yamanka Shinichi). I started to get to know Japanese food ingredients from my Obaachan when she brought me to one of the wet market near to her house in Kobe in year 2005. She taught me how to choose seafood, name of all fishes which could not remember all and the fresh ingredients like vegetables and fruits. She also taught me how to prepare the best Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients also we call it Japanese Pizza), Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸しliterally "tea cup steam" or "steamed in a tea bowl"), Teppanyaki (鉄板焼きis a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food), Sukiyaki (すき焼き is a Japanese dish, of the soup or stew type, prepared and served in the nabemono (Japanese hot pot) style) and many more. I know many of my friends also love to eat but not many people know how to prepare Japanese food and not even know the Japanese food ingredients. Actually preparing Japanese food at home can be very easy and also can be very complicated. This is up to you to choose how to prepare and what kind of dish you wish to make. In this article, I would like to share some Japanese food ingredients that I used to cook with. If you know better in this, please share us your ideas and comments and please correct me if I am wrong. This is simply to let people to get to know the look of the ingredients.
