Monsoon Scrambled Eggs with Beef, Oats and Tomatoes

     Being trapped in my apartment because of the monsoon flood have required me to be more creative with my food and what supplies I have left.  Today, I'm gonna share with you guys my scrambled eggs recipe that I have named after the flood which brought havoc to Metro Manila.

Cooking Instructions

For the Ground Beef Adobo:

• Cook ground beef in water, simmer until tender.  Drain excess water.  Set aside.
• Saute garlic in oil then add the boiled ground beef.  Season with salt and pepper, add soy sauce for extra flavor and darker color.  Cook until golden brown. 
• Garnish with the chopped kinchay.
• Drain excess oil then set aside.

[1] Ground pork will also do, but ground beef is preferred.  Tasteful in every bite.  I regularly prepare a kilo of ground beef and just keep it in my fridge.  Comes in handy when I'm cooking pasta, sautéing veggies, or just making scrambled eggs.  But for this recipe, 1/4 kilo is more than enough.  You can keep the excess.

[2] Use as many as you want. I just enjoy the smell of garlic when being fried so I use a lot.  And my mom says it lowers cholesterol level or something.

[3] I use RAM quick cooking oats, it has more fiber and protein content than the other brands I've checked.  Cheaper too.

For the Monsoon Scrambled Eggs:

• Boil cheesedog in water until cooked.  Drain, then cut in thin bite slices when cool enough.  Dice your yummy tomatoes while waiting for them to cool off.  Set both aside.
• Beat 3 eggs in a bowl, and season with 3 pinches of Maggi Magic Sarap or the amount of salt that you normally would.
• After making sure the eggs are beaten enough, add 1/2 cup of quick cooking oatmeal.  Beat gently until thoroughly mixed.  By the way, you can use instant oatmeal too.
• Heat oil in pan, then throw in your scrambled eggs.  Using a cooking spoon, I usually slice my scrambled eggs in little squares.  I don't want them just all lumpy, yep!
• Add in the Ground Beef Adobo and sliced cooked cheesedog.
• Season with additional Maggi Magic Sarap (or salt) if you prefer.
• Add the tomatoes and simmer for maybe 5-10 seconds more.  Don't overcook the tomatoes, we want them crunchy and still juicy.

     Serves at least 3 (regular-eating) folks.  You can eat this solo or with your toast or fried rice.  I usually just pair it with bread and oatmeal drink.  Enjoy and see you on my next wandering!
