Formula 1 Cuisine Club Fun! - China

SO after attending my first ever and, I feel, very successful bachelorette party on Saturday night... it was with a thumping headache and suspicious bruises that I headed to the kitchen on Sunday morning.

I think i was attempting to experience panic that I had overslept by about half and hour but I'm not sure my body was listening to my brain at that stage yet! So HOW relieved was I to see a wonderful blonde man in my kitchen deftly chopping up some fruit and a fantastic mom standing at the microwave urging rice to get nice 'n fluffy! 
Honestly bless BOTH of you!

This sunday was China at 9:00 in the morning which meant me preparing some sort of chinese breakfast! 
And here is what was on the menu! (Gaylin and I plan to start a seperate blog for peeps to follow along with! save you all your own research time :P But in the meantime I'll post here!)

• First up was "Chinese Fruit Salad" 
We made this minus the star fruit tho as I just couldn't find any anywhere! Fruit & Veg is really letting me down lately! 
We did put in some pomegranate for prettyness though and it looked great with the lemon rind sprinkled over the top.

•Then I TRIED to make "Eggs in Rice Nests" which should have been simple enough but I'm thinking the oven wasn't hot enough initially so the first few bowls came out with the rice quite dry... *sigh*
It's quite a cool concep tho! 
You make a savoury brown rice with chicken stock, then add some flaked almonds and spring onions and "Italian seasoning" (I added nice fresh bean sprouts too!)
Dish into bowls with an indent made in the middle.
Crack an egg into the hole you've made and sprinkle mozzerella around the edges :)
I think if the rice hadn't dried out as much it would have been pretty cool.
I'll definately try it again tho on a smaller scale – 15 bowls popping in and out of an oven was a little intensive for this noob of a kitchen kid!

and finally for something sweet

• Kat's cheeky chocolate springrolls!
Definately the hit of the meal as far as I'm concerned! Kat came over to also save me from myself that morning and was her usual star self! 
I also completely understand why she's addicted! they ARE easy to make and yum yum yum!! It's nutella heaven! hmmmmmm....

photo's coming to this post ASAP! x
