I’ve been eating fried eggs for breakfast so often lately that I’m getting sick of them, so I decided to add some stuff.

Lately I’ve been expanding my breakfast roster… mostly because I realized breakfast is the only meal I can be bothered to eat properly. The rest of the day I can’t even be assed to feed myself. A while back I saw a heroine in some eroge who loves mashed potatoes, and watching her eat got me hungry as hell, so I went and made some myself.

Lately I’ve been eating the same few things for breakfast and that’s really not ideal, so I decided to develop something new. Breakfast, well, in a lot of places it has its own specific requirements: It has to be fast, mornings are short on time. It has to be balanced, basically you need a bit of meat and a bit of veg. It has to taste good. If you eat a pile of vomit-like stuff in the morning, your whole day is ruined. So recently I made this thing I have no idea what to call.

A supremely unglamorous dish. As the name says, you chop up a flatbread or scallion pancake and stir-fry it. First, chop the pancake into bits, then chop some lettuce too. If you don’t have lettuce, skip it… or swap in cabbage. Beat two eggs, heat the wok, add a tiny bit of oil, toss in a little chili to bloom the aroma, then pour in the beaten egg and the chopped pancake bits and just start stir-frying. Finally add the chopped lettuce, give it a quick toss, and you’re ready to season. Add black pepper, add a bowl of warm water with salt stirred in, keep stir-frying — this makes sure the pancake softens up and improves the texture. Then add a splash of light soy sauce, and it’s ready to come out of the wok. ![DqjODaoXcAEQ9Ej.jpg:large.jpeg][1]

Lately I’ve had to drag myself out of bed and make breakfast every day, so I’ve worked out a routine that gets it done in 10 minutes.

A breakfast I stumbled on while randomly watching Japanese cooking videos on YouTube. Takes about 10 minutes. Ingredients: Sliced bread Soy sauce Eggs Lettuce Chicken bouillon

I’ve made salad before, but only recently have I started getting slightly better at it… Usually the ingredients are these: A head of romaine. (Not regular lettuce — the little ball kind.) Lean beef Cherry tomatoes (I just like them, so sue me) Cucumber Boiled egg Avocado Black pepper
