Twisted Baked Beans

An Asian Jiffy Baked Beans

Twisted Baked Beans is one of my daughter many favorites. She never can have enough of it. She would eat for three meals a day and still would not be bored eating it.

I cooked the family style and now my nieces and nephews loves it too. We love it with mince meat or luncheon meat, lots of cubes potatoes.

I remembered once we were guest at home for 5 kids and 10 adults. And the kids were given the opportunity to eat first. Guess what happened? Five kids walloped these dish meant for 15 people! And I became their favorite aunts for cooking them the second round for breakfast the next day.

It is a cross between one Nyonya dish called Bianchee and European baked beans breakfast dish.

Some of us are great food lovers:

Any of your Favorite food left out?

I will give you a variation of what I add as this dish is tasted by some overseas friends and they just love it so much.

They told me I have given this European breakfast a twist. Even the cooks will have a run for their money if I decided to sell this for a living. I laughed as usual.

Scrambled 2 eggs with garlic and onions.

Beat in 2 eggs and scrambled together with luncheon meat, garlic and onions.

Add fried potatoes, pour in chilly sauce, salt and pepper. And the secret lies with the chilly sauce. It gives the ooommph.

Variations

Mince meat, made into balls. Or add deep fried potatoes or use French fries.

On a much more pleasant note, Twisted Baked Beans continue to be one of my family most loved traditional dishes. The popularity of baked beans may be due to the fact they are cheap to make and buy.

You know, we loved our twisted baked beans on a white sliced bread. Nowadays, this dish have begun appearing in conjunction with other foods, such as a filler inside sausages, as a side dish with bacon, or as a pizza topping as like my kids, they loved thick toppings on their pizza.

Psst, one small secret, eating lots of baked beans can caused flatulence. Though it is not life threatening, it can cause you some social embarrassment. And passing gas in the wrong place at the wrong time can cause great embarrassment. Don't say, I did not tell ya!

Learn how to make a great Malay or Nyonya Sambal?

Belachan is a really pungent disk of fermented shrimp paste that you can make into
a dipping sauce (aka sambal belachan) or you can mix it up with more dried prawn and stir fry with a few types of vegetable.

A must have side dish in our homes. Most of us are addicted to it.
