Fried rice gets a fried quail egg topping in the shape of a butterfly: these are actually mini peppers so I split up a single quail egg into the three pepper rings, and pan-fried both sides. I decorated with nori and picks to suggest a butterfly. Do you see it? The fried rice is standard fare, using onions, carrots and other leftover veggies; plus this time I used chopped swiss chard. Healthy and tasty. Other section contains cottage cheese with blueberries and wheat germ, as well as sliced peaches and strawberries. Don't fly away so quick, summer -- stay for awhile...
I added this one to What's for Lunch Wednesdays. Take a look for more cool ideas!

Mini peppers and quails egg really are formed into a pretty butterfly. And I can see the nori cutout details for the wings, nice! Is a hot day this morning here, maybe I can send Mr. Sun there so your summer will last a little bit longer (^.^)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that would be much appreciated Lia.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear!
so creative with the pepper shapes - i totally see it (the classic sherimiya heart-antennae help). never thought to add swiss chard (or any other leafy green, for that matter) to my fried rice; must try that!
ReplyDeleteThanks megan:
ReplyDeleteI'm known for adding whatever's available to fried rice. I just added swiss chard to ma po tofu tonight too, heh. I know SO untraditional! But healthy... :)
