Meal for one

Well, I got leftovers corned beef and cos lettuce. What to go with it? This is meal for one: simple quick creative and fun lunch that does not require a lot of utensils. You can cook this during weekends or when you are in a hurry. Even make this as breakfast with your young children. Teaching them to turn leftovers into a new creation meal and not wasting food.

Google: “Canned corned beef is made by first curing a beef brisket in a brine solution that typically includes salt, sugar, and various spices, such as black pepper and bay leaves. After the curing process, the brisket is cooked, cooled, and then canned. The canning process involves sealing the meat in a can with a preservative solution to prevent spoilage, and then heating the can to a high temperature to kill any bacteria. The meat is then stored in the can until ready to be consumed. While it provides protein and nutrients like iron and vitamin B12, corned beef is relatively high in fat and sodium. It’s also a source of certain compounds that may increase your risk of cancer.” Eat in moderation as to prevent risk of cancer.

“A large egg contains about 6 grams of protein. Eggs also are a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin D (which aids bone health and the immune system) and choline (which helps metabolism and liver function, as well as fetal brain development). it’s OK to eat one whole egg, including the egg yolk, every day if you don’t have cardiovascular disease and you do have a healthy level of blood cholesterol. Or you can mix two egg whites with every egg yolk to give yourself more protein.”

“Cos is an old-fashioned winter lettuce. It has green, crisp, extended leaves, tightly wrapped to form an elongated head. Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant of heat. Cos lettuce is a good source of Vitamin C that helps to boost immune system and also keeps the teeth and bones strong. It helps to keep the heart healthy. It contains pro-vitamin A that protects eye health. It is low in oxalates and does not cause the risk of kidney stones.”

My lunch is two different flavoured eggs, has green and meat on toast. At least I can finish off the leftovers and it’s not wasted. I am glad to have a great lunch that is colourful, satisfying and delicious. Let’s cook!!!

Ingredients

2 buttered toast
2 eggs
4 cos lettuce
leftover cooked corned beef with eggs
nutmeg powder
chili flakes
Italian seasoning
salt
pepper
butter

Method

Put 1 tablespoon butter in saucepan, on medium heat. Once butter melted, crack one egg straight into the pan, Season it with salt, pepper, sprinkles nutmeg powder (Opps I had sprinkled a bit too much) and chili flakes over it. Let it cook till egg white looks white. Spoon the butter over the yolk to cook it. When yolk nearly set, flip over just for 5 seconds. Then removed it to a plate.

Put another 1-2 tablespoons butter into pan. Once melted, crack the second egg straight into pan, season with salt, pepper, sprinkles Italian seasoning and chili flakes. Let it cook till egg white looks white. Spoon the butter over the yolk to cook it. Now put two slices bread into toasted and toast it. Then spread some butter over it. Transfer to plate and place the cook eggs on each bread. Warmed up leftover corned beef, place cos lettuce on one side of the plate. When corned beef is warmed up spoon it over to the other side of the plate. Enjoy lunch with a big mug of coffee.
