👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

Option A: Golden Salmon Cakes 🐟

  1. 🧪 Drain the Fish: Put the Canned salmon in the Sieve to get rid of the liquid.

  2. 🥣 Mix: In a Medium bowl, mix the Salmon, 1 Egg, and half the Onion.

  3. 🥩 Shape: Roll into 4 balls, then roll them in the Cornmeal until they look like yellow cookies.

  4. 🔥 Put the Frying pan on Medium heat with a little oil. Cook for 4 Minutes on each side until they are very crunchy.

Option B: Creamy Egg Curry 🍛

  1. 🥚 Boil the Eggs: Put 4 Eggs in water and boil for 10 Minutes. Peel them and cut them in half.

  2. 🍳 In the Frying pan, melt the Butter. Stir in the Curry powder and Heavy cream.

  3. ⏳ Stir for 2 Minutes until it looks like a thick yellow sauce.

  4. 🥚 Lay the Boiled eggs into the sauce and spoon the cream over them. Serve on top of rice or toast.

Option C: The "Magic" Corn & Egg Skillet 🌽

  1. 🥫 Pour the Canned creamed corn into the Frying pan on Medium heat.

  2. 🥚 Crack 2 Eggs into a Medium bowl and whisk them with a fork.

  3. 🥄 When the corn is hot, pour the Eggs in. Stir quickly for 2 Minutes until the eggs are cooked and the corn is fluffy.

Option D: The Salty Potato Chip Scramble 🥔

  1. 🥚 Crack 3 Eggs into a Medium bowl and whisk them.

  2. 🥔 Stir in the Crushed potato chips.

  3. 🔥 Put the Frying pan on Medium heat with a little Butter.

  4. 🍳 Pour the eggs in and scramble them for 3 Minutes. The chips stay a little bit crunchy and add all the salt you need!

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🥚 Egg Shells: When cracking Eggs, tap them on a flat table, not the edge of the bowl. This keeps tiny shell pieces from falling into your food.

  • 🐟 Salmon Bones: Canned salmon sometimes has soft bones. You can mash them with a fork (they are safe to eat!) or pick them out with your fingers before mixing.

  • 🧤 Hot Pan: The Frying pan handle will get hot very fast. Always wear your Oven mitt when you are stirring.
