I watched the video something like a few weeks before my attempt. But I should have watched the video again because I got it wrong. It just shows that my memory is not very good.
The correct way to do it is like this :
But you know lah, I simply hentam. But before we get into my salah faham sandwich, I filled mine with luncheon meat.
This is my current favorite brand.
And pan fried the whole lot. In the past, there a few occasions when excess luncheon meat that I stored in the fridge for too long became moldy. This way, I won't forget and will eat within the next few days.
I know... luncheon meat is salty and processed meats should not be consumed too often. But it's so delicious.....
All done. Next to prep the bread.
This is where I went wrong. The correct way to do it (as per Youtube video) is you pour the beaten eggs into the pan and then dip the bread in it. Instead, I beat the eggs and then dipped the bread into the eggs (like making French toast) before frying the bread in the pan. Haiz!
After the bread was browned, I added two slices of fried luncheon meat and half a slice of cheese.
After that, I poured in the leftover beaten eggs.
I will reattempt this sandwich the correct way.
You know me, I am never shy to show my baking or cooking disasters, though this wasn't exactly a disaster.
One was a bit too brown while the other needed more browning. But can lah. As long as can eat, considered OK liao.
I didn't get the melty cheese effect because I did not put a lot of cheese. Two slices of cheese will give you that very nice gooey melted cheese but I don't like too much cheese.
i m drooling over the luncheon meat sandwich! that is our fav brand too...yummzzz! i will eat this sandwich with chili sauce for extra umpphhh!
ReplyDeleteOh ya, after take photo, I put chili sauce. LOL!
DeleteYummy sandwich. My kids like luncheon meat, I usually make sandwich twice a week for their snack to schools. My hubby has been enjoying this egg and ham sandwich from a stall lately, he loves it. They added a bit of mayo in it so not that dry.
ReplyDeleteI find sandwiches very appealing and always cannot resist when I see it at bakeries or at Family Mart.
DeleteThis is definitely very delicious and heavenly food. I want to eat this everyday until eternity. The saltier is the merrier and tambah cheese lagi oomph!!
ReplyDeleteI would use lighter to heat the bottom of the can and the whole chunk of luncheon meat would slide out like KY gel. Wakakakaka
Hah..hah... Luncheon meat is definitely heavenly! This brand the saltiness is acceptable. The most salty one is Tulip brand.
DeleteLove Spam sandwiches, a tradition of Xmas morning breakfast in our family! To ease the chunk of meat out, puncture the bottom of the can with the tip of a knife, or use a can opener just to make a little crack.
ReplyDeleteAh! Thanks for the tip. I will try this method when I open the next one.
DeleteSingapore luncheon meat? I think I've seen this brand here but I have never bought it to try. Sticking faithfully to my Korean ones...or the Danish Porkies.
ReplyDeleteI'll try the Korean one next time.
DeleteAha, so my deduction (as commented in your last post) was spot on! ;) I think I prefer your "wrong way" of making it coz the "right way", the bread doesn't soak up enough egg...kekeke...the more egg the better (same philosophy as butter?)...muahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMy current favourite brand is this Singapore brand too (and the Lotte brand from Korea, the one with the brown cover, not the yellow one). The Korean brand, you don't have to go boom, boom, boom...it slides out effortlessly. Although these two brands is not by choice but will have to do since I can't find the YiGe brand anymore. I did find the same brand with the same name and bought it once to try (but realised it's manufactured in Singapore and not China) but it tasted nothing like the original YiGe (from China)...haiz. When you say your luncheon meat is cut into 8 slices, I know they were thickly sliced...coz mind is cut into 12 (your one an feeds 1, mind feeds 3...hehehe! ;)
Yup, you got it right! I would like to try the Lotte one next (will make sure I buy the one with brown cover). I agree that the YiGe brand does not taste like the original one. What a pity! I don't know how to slice the luncheon meat any thinner than 8. LOL!
DeleteI have bought this brand a few times now. Tasty! Love your sandwich. Don't care that it isn't made exactly like the video because it sure looks tasty. 😋😋😋
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Luncheon meat is so irresistible! LOL!
DeleteSalah faham never mind as long as the sandwich is tasty. And yours look tasty especially with the luncheon meat. I love luncheon meat but trying not to eat too often. Hubby and I will finish the whole lot at one go. Thanks for sharing the video. Hope to try one of these days.
ReplyDeletehah..hah..hah.. yes, it was tasty even though not done correctly.
DeleteI am not a fan of luncheon meats but I do like a good egg and cheese toastie.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, no processed foods for you. I try to eat them as infrequently as possible.
