Beef/bacon/chicken and Yummy Bread for Breakfast
Ingredients:
4-8 slices of bread
2-4 eggs, stir it
Half cup of milk
Salt
Lots of Pepper (if you're a pepper person like me :P)
Cooking oil
Beef/bacon/ham/chicken or any other kind of meat that you like :)
How to cook:
1. Stir the eggs, mix it with half cup of milk. Add some salt and pepper. If you're an Indonesian, you will probably add some sugar too. Nope, just kidding :-) But you can put some chili or chili powder if you like. Put the bread in it so both sides of the bread are covered by it. Fried the bread, whether it is medium or well-done, it's your preference! As for me, I like it well-done :-)
2. Fried the beef/bacon/ham/chicken or any other kind of meat that you like.
3. If you're an Indonesian, you will probably eat it with chili sauce, even for breakfast :-)
Alternatives: you can also add some cheese either in the eggs and the milk or after it is fried.

My Version of Nasi Hainan
It is my simple version of nasi hainan. Very easy to cook. Just put everything in the rice cooker and let it cook for itself :-). I "invented" it when my mom went home from the hospital after all of her toes were operated. I cooked this yummy food for her in the morning and she can easily turn on the rice cooker, it is still hot when she's having it for lunch :-)
Ingredients:
1-2 pieces of chicken or 250gr of chopped chicken fillet
1-2 cups of rice
Chopped vegetables (carrots, beans, anything you like)
Mushrooms (if you like)
1-2 cloves garlic
1 cloves onion
2 cm ginger or 1 tea spoon of ginger powder
1 tea spoon of sesame oil
1 tea spoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
How to Cook:
1. Boil the chicken or the chicken fillet with garlic and add some salt, pepper and ginger or ginger powder to make a basic bouillon (or chicken stock).
2. Put the rice in the rice cooker and pour the bouillon. Add the vegetable and sesame oil. You can also add extra garlic, onion, pepper, ginger or ginger powder and salt. Turn on the rice cooker.
3. Five minutes before the rice is cooked, put all the vegetables and the mushrooms into the rice cooker.
My Version of Chicken Lemon with Mint
This is one of my favourites recipes. It is very easy to cook, using chicken fillet. It is more healthy because you leave out the chicken skin which contains all those unhealthy fat :-) Highly recommended for the beginners :-)

Vegetables (carrots, beans,anything you like)
1-2 cloves garlic
1 cloves onion
Chilies or paprika (if you like it spicy :P)
Mint leaves
1-2 lemon
vegetable oil or any kind of healthy cooking oil
salt and pepper
How to Cook:
- Heat up the stove. Put two table spoon of oil, wait for 1 minutes.
- Put garlic, wait for around 15 seconds and put the onions, wait for another 15 seconds.
- Put the chopped chicken filled until it colours turn to white, and pour some water, wait for 10 minutes
- Put the mushrooms, 15 seconds later the veggies, chilies (if you like), salt and pepper.
- After another 5 minutes, put everything on the plate and pour squezeed lemon and mint leaves. Ready to be served.
