Indonesian Bean Curd Omelettes (Tahu Telur) - Ben T :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ben

 

I like this one

Did you dream this one up? <big smile>

or did you find it on the internet?

 

Tahu means " bean curd " and Telur means " egg " in Malaysian( or Indonesian)

language.

 

I am grateful to you for posting this one.

For me, I would make this one spicy and hot.

This means adding hot chillies to it

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee
