Oil Stick Twists and Eggs: A Simple Breakfast, Enjoying a High-End Feel, Friends: Leave Some for Me
I've been a homebody lately, sleeping more, going to bed earlier and waking up earlier, but I've developed a good habit of early rising. So, breakfast during the day has become particularly important. Recently, I've been eating a very rich breakfast. This morning, I enjoyed the long-missed fried dough sticks, as well as sesame balls and shrimp slices, and beautifully shaped heart-shaped ham sausage eggs.
Fried dough sticks. One of China's typical breakfasts, and a favorite of many. They are convenient, simple, and effective at keeping hunger at bay. Most importantly, they pair well with soy milk. I made them myself at home, full of air, with a satisfying chewiness and delicate fluffiness, definitely not inferior to store-bought ones. My husband and children complimented me on my cooking the first thing in the morning. Eating the fried dough sticks was a sweet and heartwarming experience, and it warmed my heart as well.
Sesame balls. Originally, I wanted to make ordinary sesame balls, but I thought they were a bit repetitive with the fried dough sticks, so I added bean paste filling to them. They can be eaten as a main dish or enjoyed as a snack when you have free time. These sesame balls, heated in the pot for a second time, have another unique flavor. My children especially love them when they're reheated.
Shrimp slices. While frying the fried dough sticks and sesame balls, I noticed there were still some shrimp slices in the cabinet, so I fried them up. Putting the hard shrimp slices into hot oil instantly opened them, so I immediately turned off the fire and took them out, otherwise they would be burnt! These shrimp slices can be eaten when you're hungry in your free time, so you don't need to go out and buy snacks.
Heart-shaped eggs. I make sure to maintain adequate nutrition every day, ensuring my children eat eggs every day to supplement their protein. I cut the ham sausage in half but not all the way through, then bent it in the opposite direction and used a toothpick soaked in salt water to thread it through. Put them in the pot, crack the eggs into them. Let them cook. Taking care of family with love, even breakfast is shaped like you love them. Add seasonings according to your taste. I also fried a few ham sausages, paired with bread and milk, and enjoyed them together.
It was a wonderful morning! I made a whole bunch of delicious food, and my husband and children liked what they ate. This brought me a full of happiness. Simple but elegant. I really value my breakfast, and it's always a huge spread. What did you have for breakfast?
