Method:
Cook two minute noodles without using
the flavour sachets. Drain and cool slightly. Keep
the sachets aside.
Cook the mushrooms in a small pan with the
teaspoon oil.
In a large bowl place cooked mushrooms, the
warm noodles, ham, onions, carrot, cabbage, eggs, noodle
sachets, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Gently place large spoonfuls of mixture in
hot oil in your frying pan. Turn over when golden brown
and set underneath. Before doing each batch ensure that the
mixture is well stirred as the egg will drain to the bottom of
the bowl quickly.
Serves 4 as a light lunch with salad and
fresh bread.
Notes:
Kecap manis is a sweet
thick sticky type of Asian sauce similar in taste to soy
sauce. It's available in some supermarkets.
Food Facts:
Cabbage is regarded as a "wonder" vegetable
because it has so many good qualities. Raw and juiced cabbage has
anti-viral and ant-bacterial properties. It is considered to speed
up the metabolism of oestrogen in women and this may protect against
cancer of the breast and womb. Studies have shown that men can
reduce their likelihood of getting colon cancer by two-thirds if
they eat cabbage more than once a week.
There are more than 2,000
varieties of edible mushrooms but only a few of
these are readily available. Mushrooms have no
cholesterol and are are virtually free of fat
and sodium. They contain vitamin B1, B2.
potassium, selenium, iron and niacin. The
Pharaohs of Egypt delighted in mushrooms so much
that they decreed that mushrooms could not be
eaten or even touched by common folk. They
considered mushrooms the food of royalty and by
stopping commoners eating them they then assured
a larger supply for themselves.
