Add some minced pork on top and fold up omelette. Fry at low heat until both sides are golden brown. Dish up. Use the same method to finish the remaining portion (I made four but you can make smaller portion). Cost of ingredients: Minced pork = S$2.40 4 Eggs = S$0.80 1 Onion = S$0.40 Steamed Tilapia Ingredients: 1 (400g) Fresh live fish (Tilapia) 1/2 tsp Sugar 1 tbsp Light soy sauce a drop of sesame oil 2 tbsp water 3 slices Ginger - shredded some cut Chilli and Spring onion Method: Clean and wash fish, pat dry with kitchen paper and put fish on steaming plate. Mix the seasoning in a small bowl, stir well and pour on to fish. Sprinkle chilli and spring onion on top and steam at high heat for about 8-10 mins. Serve immediately. Cost of Ingredients: Tilapia = S$5.90 Spring onion = S$0.70 Chilli/Ginger/Garlic = S$1.00 Fish Ball Spinach Soup Ingredients: 400g Spinach (Hing Cai) 1 packet Fish ball 3-4 Garlic 60g Anchovies 1 sliced Ginger 1.5 litre Water Method: Wash anchovies and put it together with sliced ginger in a small muslin bag. Bring a pot of 1.5 litre water together with the anchovies to boil and simmer at low heat for 30 mins. Wash spinach (I only keep the leaves) and set aside. When you're about to serve your meal, remove the bag of anchovies, bring stock to boil again, add garlic, fish ball and spinach. Wait until fish ball floats to the surface, then add salt to taste (about 1/2 tsp) and off heat. Cost of Ingredients: Spinach (Hing Cai) = S$1.30 Fish Ball (10 pcs) = S$1.35 60g Anchovies = S$0.80 You can cook all these dishes almost at the same time (only prepare the stock first), put the fish in the steamer when you're about to finish making the omelette. Then heat up the stock and add fish balls and spinach. Enjoy!
