If the recipe is a success depends on how one add the egg.

1 egg
9 clear bouillon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 big scallions, only the green parts which is cut in thin rings

Whisk the egg lightly
Pour the bouillon into a pot or a wok. Heat it until it boils and then lower the temperature as low as possible (on an electrical stove remove it from the heat altogether). Pour the egg very carefully and slowly between either two chopsticks or along the backside of a fork. Pour it from about 20-25 centimeter above the bouillon and move the chopsticks/fork in a circular motion so that the egg cover the surface of the soup.
Remove the pot from the heat and put on a lid for about 45 seconds so that the egg may become soft bits. Add salt, sugar and the soy sauce and sprinkle the scallion on top. Stir the soup a couple of times.

100 gram butter/margarine
2 deciliter sifted spelt flour

Blend the ingredients and work it until you have a smooth dough, let it rest in your fridge for 15 minutes.

Or if you simply want to talk about anything food related then do it here!

Pretty fun read when I were reading your recipes here, MystMist, I don't think I will make these as I am TOO LAZY when it comes to cooking. I love easy food, Fruits are fast food; even steamed vegetables are almost as easy too... Simple facts
xd

No hate, no hate, just sharing what I know about food.

Oh, one more thing, if we don't want fat, it's kind of contradictory to add extracted oil in our dishes. Real whole food taste great as they are, unless we are already spoiled by too mixed taste to begin with. Just giving an example : ripe mangoes are really good, super yummy. I highly doubt anyone would hate sweet tasty mangoes. Let's put it this way - would we want a little bit of oil to enchant mango's flavor? I don't think so... That's what I am talking about 3nodding

But I can only guess you put great efforts, thinking and experiences on writing these recipes, thank you. I like reading these.... it's good read for me anyway 3nodding

My text it says healthy recipes not low-fat recipes so what you say isn't important besides, oil carry flavors and bring out the flavor of other ingredients. Canola oil and olive oil is the only ones i have listed so far and they both are vegetable oils and contain a good amount of antioxidants. Extra virgin olive oil is good to choice and other cold-pressed oils are also good-choices. All vegetable oils also contain omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 and all of those are good for the heart. A little bit of oil can also completely change the texture of the food so that it tastes better to eat.

!!!Your example is just insulting and stupid and does not pertain at all to the recipes i have posted, So stop harassing me unless you could put up a real factual argument and example pertaining to how i use an ingredient or what i have posted in my recipes!!!
