Air Fryer Omelet ( Telur Dadar Air Fryer )

  You should try making omelet in air fryer... for many reasons! I talked a lot about air fryer in my previous post here. You can make thick omelet without having to worry about the typical problems of uncooked and yet burned omelet when cooked in a pan above a stove. I now can enjoy thick, fluffy and juicy omelet.

See the second photo how to place it in the air fryer. Use a pan smaller than the air fryer pot and cook about 10-15 minutes at 140C. Herewith, I'm using only 4 eggs + 1 tbsp oil + chopped bean curd + spring onions + tomato + salt + pepper. Test done-ness and add extra cooking time as necessary... after several attempt you will understand better your own air fryer.

   Memang berbaloi dan mudah kerja memasak dengan air fryer ni. Along ada citer pasal air fryer kat sini kalau minat nak beli air fryer tapi unsure, boleh lah baca pengalaman Along kat situ.

 Meh cuba buat telur dadar pulak kali ni. Along suka sebab cara begini dapat hasilkan telur dadar yang tebal dan gebu serta juicy. Kalau nak buat yg tebal dalam kuali agak susah sebab tengah nya lambat masak dan di luar mudah hangus.

  Cara nak masak nya mudah jer, letak bancuhan telur ke dlm bekas aluminium yg muat ke dlm air fryer dan bakar 140C selama lebih kurang 10 minit - bergantung kpd saiz yg anda buat. Di sini Along guna 4 biji telur + 1 sb minyak + sekeping tauhu + daun bawang + tomato + garam + serbuk lada. Selepas 10 minit, test masak ke tak dan tambah masa jika perlu.

Salted Eggs (Telur Masin)

 I was excited to find abundance of fresh duck eggs in the hypermarket. I stayed 25 years in Miri but never found any except salted ones. Making my own salted eggs really excites me.... There are two ways you can make them... wrap the eggs with salted clay or soak in salted water. The later is much easier unless in my hometown I can get clay easily from around my mother's house.

By: Roz@HomeKreation
INGREDIENTS:
15 Duck Eggs - wash
1 liter Water
1 cup Hot Water
370g Salt

METHOD:
1. Mix salt and water until dissolved in a big glass jar.
2. Place eggs in the jar and let it soak for 4 weeks.
3. The eggs are ready when the egg yolk is oily when boiled - see photos below.
TIPS: Place a bag of water on top of the eggs to dip them under the water.

Seronok nya dapat buat telur masin sendiri. Tak sangka boleh dapat telur itik segar dgn mudah dari hypermarket kat KL ni dgn harga berpatutan. Nak buat telur masin amat mudah tapi perlukan kesabaran menunggu. Kalau tak cukup lama kuning telur nya tak cantik kemerahan atau tidak berkilat. Along buat rendam dgn air garam jer. Kalau nak buat bungkus dlm tanah liat pon senang gak tapi susah lak nak cari melainkan Along balik kampung memang banyak tanah liat keliling rumah emak.

BAHAN2:
15 bj Telur Masin - basuh bersih 
1 liter Air
1 cwn Air Panas
370g Garam

CARA2:
1. Campur garam dan air sehingga larut, di dalam balang kaca besar.
2. Masukkan telur dan biarkan selama 4 minggu.
3. Telur masin yg di rebus, kuning nya akan merah berkilat & berminyak apabila sudah cukup matang.
TIPS: 
 Tip dari Mymoone Esa, sahabat FB: letakkan sebungkus plastik yg berisi air di atas telur2 itu supaya elok tenggelem di dalam air dan tidak terapung.

After one week, the eggs are already salty but the egg yolks are not and the color was pale yellow. See my blur photo below - using handphone camera did not really work well under dim light. I purposely test it so that I can show you how it looks like compared to fully matured salted eggs:

Selepas seminggu - putih telur dah masin tapi kuning telur masih pucat dan tak masin

I tested again after two weeks.... part of the egg yolks were beautifully red and oily except small portion in the middle:

Selepas 2 minggu, kuning telur dah berminyak dan kemerahan cantik tapi ada sedikit di tengah yg masih kuning

After four weeks, the egg yolks were perfectly red and oily:

Selepas 4 minggu, kuning telur bertukar kemerahan sepenuh nya

Gulai Lemak Telur Masin (Salted Egg in Green Coconut Broth)

 I had lunch at my  good friend's house few weeks ago whereby she invited her friend (Kak Nor) to cook this special dish. This dish typically using fresh duck eggs (and my mum's cook this deliciously) but you will never find duck eggs in Miri hence she substituted it with salted eggs and it turned out fabulous...! However, make sure the salted eggs are not too salty and the mild type will be great.

I tried making it again and managed to buy some salted eggs from the Pasar Malam (night market) which are imported from KL. It is more expensive (90cent each) but I was told that they are less salty which turned out to be true. My whole family enjoyed this dish very much.... My youngest son asked me why I called it salted egg because he said it is not salty at all. I guess the salt must be absorbed into the gravy. The big difference is the egg yolks which is a lot tastier than the fresh eggs...! For those who never tried this, it will be a new discovery for you....

INGREDIENTS:
4 Salted Eggs
4 Shallots*
Some Chili Padi*
1 Green Chili*

3. Serve with white rice....ummmh!

Poached Eggs in Spicy Soup

Once in a while is nice to have egg dish. This is my mum's and hubby's favourite.

Shaped Poached Eggs

We had simple breakfast in the recent weekend (late posting due to blog system problem). For those who like to try this, grease the mould & drop a tsp of butter in the middle of the mould before poaching egg into it. This way, you can unmould it easily once the egg is cooked.

Egg, Pineapple, Potato & Salted Fish Curry

This recipe is created based on my wild appetite and what available in the kitchen. I've been keeping the salted fish from my mum for quite sometime and it is time to dispose it into the cooking pot. I cannot find "Ikan Talang masin" (name of the salted fish) in Miri, so it is kind of precious stock & cook only when the craving is high.

INGREDIENTS:
4 boiled Eggs
½ Pineapple - peeled & sliced
1 Potato - peeled & cubed
Some Salted Fish (Ikan Talang is the best)
3 tbsp Curry Powder (I used curry powder for cooking beef instead of for fish)
3 Shallots - sliced
½ pot Coconut Milk
1 each Cinnamon stick*, Star Anise*, Cardamon* & few Cloves*

METHOD:
1. Place coconut milk & curry powder in a pot & boil.
Add in potato & cook until half cooked.
Add in pineapple, salted fish & cook for 5-10 minutes.
Adding salt may not be necessary but check to taste.

2. In a small pan, heat up 2 tbsp oil & fry sliced onion & spices* until onion is golden.
Pour the whole thing into the cooked curry.

3. Serve with rice.
