Eggy bread & Mayo

[mscheerful]

tofu steak: one piece of hard tofu, slice to half, place a piece of cheese and ham on one slice of the tofu and cover with the other half. sealed it with egg, roll it over all purpose flour and bread crumbs, deep fried in medium heat oil till light brown, scope up and drain of the excess oil and again with kitchen paper towel. cool down, cut to pieces or in stick shape and YUM! I usually boil some veggies to go along with it. in our family, every body loves it

*the ham and cheese slice has to be smaller than the tofu, if not it is hard to 'seal' it.

another thing is rice burger. I use left over rice. roll to ball and press to become patty shape. pan fried both side till golden brown (about 5-10 minutes each side). i usually add a little low sodium soy sauce to taste. i will have beef burger or turkey or salami or whatever meat we like to go with it and of cause, boil veggies. i don't use oil to fried the rice patty/burger for my kid but for us, i use a little butter. my husband loves it

Thanks everyone for the good ideas. I often find it hard to think of interesting things to give him for lunch. He is a pretty good eater and usually has the leftovers from our dinner the night before for his evening meal (since our dinners are prepared too late for him to have as well). Like the sound of the vege cutlets too. And omelette would be good too.

Some more lunch ideas popped up in my mind: Quesadilla, quiche, frittata, mac & cheese (with hidden veggies).
And something we love is a Baguette cut horizontally topped with cheddar cheese or mozzarella, chopped veggies (Corn, tomato, zucchini, peppers and olives) oregano, drip some olive oil and bake in the oven for 10-15 mins. I think you get something similar at Delifrance.

Oh I love the ones from Delifrance so will need to give that a try! Does your daughter handle the crunchy bread ok?

I cut it into small pieces for her, and the olive oil keeps it slightly moist.

Thanks geomum.

Sounds like people don't differentiate between meal ideas for lunch and dinner so much. Maybe I am overthinking things trying to come up with separate "lunch items" vs. "dinner items".

So is eggy bread just savoury french toast??

i think lunch vs dinner is a very western idea. i know many chinese don't even differentiate breakfast... still rice, veg, a little meat or fish...personally, i can't imagine that for breakfast.

I dont differentiate between lunch and dinner, breakfast is totally different, can't eat rice with veggies/ meat either. I think the concept of light lunch is applicable if you need to get back to work and don't want to feel sleepy after a hearty meal. Am I right??

How about pancakes with spinach and cheese
