Baked Beans In Tomato Sauce With Egg And Frankfurter On Rice - "Malaysian Monday 65"

For this week's MM post I decided to give the classics and hawker favourites a miss but instead introduce you to this rather bizarre way of serving baked beans with rice that I grew up with.

I cannot be sure if it is a common practice to serve baked beans with rice in other parts of Malaysia, but it certainly is very popular in my hometown of Cameron Highlands... another English legacy perhaps?

It has taken me a while to pitch this dish to Tummy, fortunately he was opened to the idea of baked beans on rice for dinner. He also happily finished off the leftover with some toast the following morning.

recipe from the tummies' kitchen
serves 3 to 4 as a one dish meal 
you'll need;
1 packet of frankfurters
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
4 eggs, very lightly beaten
3 cans of baked beans in tomato sauce
3 tbs of oyster sauce
2 tbs of light soy
dash of white pepper

Cut each frankfurter into 4 and make 4 x 1 cm cuts on both ends. Crack eggs into a bowl, season with a little salt and pepper and beat the eggs lightly.

Brown the frankfurters with a little oil, remove and set aside.

Saute chopped garlic with a little oil for 30 seconds then push the garlic to one side before pouring in the eggs.

When the eggs are half set, add the baked beans and mix well. 

Return the frankfurters to the pan and season with oyster sauce, soy and pepper.

Serve over a bed of steamed rice and enjoy :)
