Breakfast for Dinner

Breakfast tacos with eggs, Vermont cheddar, sautéed dry salami, & sriracha. Since it's dinner, no coffee. Instead, Man in Black tequila on the rocks to drink.

Savory Breakfast

Today's breakfast skewed savory. Coffee, of course. Buttered (Smart Balance) honey wheat English muffin. Low-fat cottage cheese with olives, EVOO, za'atar, and hot sauce.

Sweet & Savory

Breakfasting on a sweet peach plus an English muffin topped with cream cheese and homemade tapenade. Plus coffee.

Eggs For Dinner

Not Eggs Benedict. Just poached eggs on sautéed Canadian bacon, on toasted English muffin, with a thinned Dijon mustard sauce. White wine to drink.

Watermelon Jam

Today's breakfast was an English muffin with watermelon jam and goat cheese, accompanied by Greek yogurt with mixed berries and mountain honey.

Fried Eggs with Kimchi

I made the recipe from http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes/fried-eggs-with-kimchi and had it with an English muffin, strawberries, and hot coffee.

Congee For Breakfast

For breakfast today, I made congee with smoked pork, chopped collards, poached egg, and furikake.

Fortify That Breakfast!

We had takeout Japanese food last night. What to do with the leftover rice and miso soup? In Japan, they often have these for breakfast with some fish. No fish in the house, so I popped in a beaten egg and made the soup into an egg drop miso soup. I jazzed up the rice with furikake topping. Can't forget dairy and fruit, which explains the blueberries topped with Greek yogurt (and mountain honey). Coffee is a must.

What'd You Have For Breakfast?

I had an oeuf en cocotte with za'atar and tomato paste, accompanied by onion rye toast soldiers. My side was Greek yogurt with blueberries. Coffee, of course, to drink.

Blueberry Omelette

Two-egg omelette seasoned with cinnamon, honey, a squirt of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Filled with a half-cup of blueberries and a little cream cheese. Glass of skim milk to drink.

Shrimp & Rice Breakfast

For breakfast today, I had an unorthodox (by Western tastes) breakfast: a half-cup of brown rice, with a half-cup of dashi, 8 diced cooked/shelled shrimp, and two tablespoons of fueru wakame (chopped dried seaweed). Plus a cup of coffee.

Gyeran Jjim

For breakfast today, I steamed up my interpretation of gyeran jjim. Instead of green onion, I sliced up a shallot. The chicken bouillon powder mixed with water added flavor and salt. A grape tomato added color. Sides were toast with scallion cream cheese, more grape tomatoes, and kimchi. Coffee with chicory.

Breakfast Outdoors

Isn't it nice to have breakfast outdoors? Listening to The Beach Boys singing "Kokomo" on my iPod.

Gaeran Tost-u for Breakfast

Today, I decided to make gaeran tost-u (Korean egg toast) for breakfast. The bread was rye sandwich bread. The cabbage was chopped kimchi. The onion was sliced green onion. The carrot was just carrot. We were out of ketchup, so the toppings were HP sauce and light brown sugar.

 

I toasted and buttered the rye bread. Then, I sauteed the vegetables in a little butter. I poured on one beaten egg, and squared it off to fit on the bread, flipping it to finish it off.  I poured on HP sauce and sprinkled a little light brown sugar on that.

Here it is ready to eat, with some orange segments on the side. It went great with a mug of French roast coffee.

Pad Thai Eggs

Why save for dinner the leftovers from last night's dinner? Eat the oatmeal tomorrow and have last night's dinner for breakfast!

I had a little bit of pad thai left. I freshened it with shaved carrot and scrambled it in a pan with a couple of eggs. Sprinkled a little sriracha rooster sauce on top. Warmed pita on the side. Black coffee to drink. Mmm!

What's For Breakfast

Black coffee. Gaeran tost-u (Korean egg toast) with kimchi, carrots, and shallots; topped with ketchup and brown sugar. I had leftover carrot, so I had it as a side vegetable.

Bacon, Kimchi, & Eggs in Pita

A few drops of sriracha on top. Fusion breakfast, yum! Also had healthy fat-free yogurt topped with raspberries and honey. Plus a cuppa coffee, of course.

Korean Egg Toast (Gaeran Tost-u)

My lunch today was Korean egg toast.

This Korean breakfast sandwich, sold by street vendors in cities, is commonly called tost-u (toast) or gaeran tost-u (egg toast). It's not that different from an American egg sandwich, but the addition of cabbage and a sweet dusting of brown sugar are tasty Korean additions. It is Korean fusion cooking at the street level. Here is my process for making it.
