foodie friday: crunchy omelette

Hmm, what to feed the kids? What's for dinner? Common questions at my house. What about you? We do our best to eat as a family. When you have been up since 5.30am a 5.30pm dinner is not a big deal, so we eat with the kids most nights. Eating together cuts down on the cooking I do, means the clean up is almost done before the kids are in bed and sometimes the kids eat better and sometimes eat more variety.

At our house we have a fussy toddler and a very adventurous 10 month old with two spice loving parents. Olive eats pretty much what we eat at dinner time, she loves meat and lentils, baked veges and eggs. Ada doesn't like eggs, sad face. Easiest food on the planet, out. Last weekend Olive and I came home from visiting family in Katikati and were in need of something tastier and healthier and quick. I put some brown rice in the rice cooker and Olive in the front pack and headed out for a spot of fresh air before the sun went down. When we got home the rice was done, and thanks to our crappy rice cooker, a little dry - perfect for what I needed. Olive was about to try my favourite leftover meal: I call it crunchy omlette.

It is so easy! 

First you fry maybe a cup or more leftover rice in a pan, then when it is a little crunchy add some grated garlic and ginger, I did just one clove and a cm or so of ginger root. 

While that is cooking whisk together about eggs and the pour over. You then throw in half a cup of frozen peas. Stir and form into an omelette shape. 

When brown flip it! Cook the other side-voila!

I eat mine with hot sauce and soy sauce and Olive eats hers as is. Yums.
