Chef’s note from Choi Shan

“My mom taught me this recipe when I was young. She used to make it with water and serve it with soy sauce as a savoury dish, while I love to add milk to make it a more creamy dessert. This is one of the easiest and fastest desserts that I enjoy making.“

Chef’s note from Echo

“This dish is a go-to for using up ingredients in the fridge. It’s an easy way to make a filling, delicious meal with things you already have. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers you don’t know what to do with. You can also cut it into squares, wrap them up and freeze them for easy morning breakfasts.“

Chef’s note from Maysa

“It’s my go-to egg dish because it is very cheap to make and I believe all students have some canned stuff around. It’s very high in protein and takes less than 10 minutes to make when I don’t have time.”
