Got some eggs, onion and peas leftover. Decided to combined them together for a healthy simple meal after I had heavy meal outside with friends.

Google: “Eggs are very nutritious and contain 186 mg of cholesterol each. Despite this, dietary cholesterol doesn’t always affect blood cholesterol levels or heart disease risk for everyone, although research varies. The liver makes cholesterol daily and can manage its levels by producing less when needed. Responses to egg consumption differ among individuals; for some, it may not significantly raise blood cholesterol, while for others, it can cause a substantial increase. People with genetic conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia or those with the APOE4 gene variant should consider eating eggs in moderation.”

“Green peas, or “garden peas,” are small seeds from the Pisum sativum plant. They are rich in fiber and protein, which help regulate starch digestion. This protein and fiber slow carbohydrate breakdown and help manage blood sugar levels. Research shows that a high-protein diet can lower blood sugar after meals for people with type 2 diabetes. Green peas contain carbohydrates, protein, and many nutrients like fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin K. They are a popular and nutritious vegetable, low in calories, and high in fiber and antioxidants.”

“Onions (Allium cepa) are bulb-shaped vegetables that grow underground. They are also known as bulb onions and are found worldwide, related to chives, garlic, scallions, shallots, and leeks. Onions are commonly used for flavour and are a staple in many cuisines. They can be baked, boiled, grilled, fried, roasted, sautéed, powdered, or eaten raw. The most common types are white, yellow, and red, and their taste varies from mild and sweet to sharp and spicy. Onions can also be eaten when young, known as scallions, spring onions, or summer onions.”

My meal looks bland and in yellow and green colour but it’s a healthy, and delicious meal to go with rice alone. Let’s cook!!!

Ingredients

3-4 eggs
100 g green peas
1/4 onion, chopped
4 Tbs milk (OPT)
oil
salt
pepper

Method

Heat a saucepan on medium heat. Beat the egg and milk together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add oil, once saucepan is hot. Toss in onion and cook until onion is softened about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and allow to cook for 30 seconds stirring a little. Next scatter the pea over the eggs.

When the egg is mostly set but not quite fully cooked through, gently fold one half of the egg over the peas. Continue to cook on that side for about 1 minutes then turn over and cook on the other side for a further 1 minute.

Transfer to a bowl. Serve with rice. Enjoy!!!
