When I had no idea what else to cook, I would choose this comfort food (besides luncheon meat aka SPAM) which is corned beef. It can be served in wraps or with bread. This one I am going to post, we chose bread.
Firstly, add other ingredients.
Usually, I would add in potatoes, carrots and onions together with the corned beef, this way, we get other types of vegetables too. The kids love it and the potatoes and carrots balance out the strong beef taste.
This is a super easy-to-cook dish as you are using the canned corned beef, except that you need some time to dice the potatoes, carrots and onions.
Once everything is done being diced, the next steps are fast and easy. In a pan, heat up oil, stir fry the onions till fragrant, then add in the diced potatoes and carrots.
I usually will add in some water to let the potatoes and carrots simmer a little longer so that they will be soft and easy to chew.
Next, add in the corned beef, stir and mixed well.
By then, the whole kitchen will smell so fragrant, and this dish of corned beef with carrots, onions and potatoes are yummy on its own.
Secondly, MORE veggies...
I usually love to have more flavours to my corned beef sandwich so I would also stir fry some bell peppers with onions, with added salt and pepper. Julienne the bell peppers and stir fry with onions. That's simple.
This small bowl of stir fry bell peppers is good on its own too, if you don't feel like eating anything else but vegetables, this is a great choice, loaded with vitamins and great for losing weight too. =)
Lastly, stack them up, layer by layer
The usual layer for our sandwich would be just lettuce, cheese and the corned beef mixture. On special day, we would add slices of tomatoes and mayonnaise. For this round, let's keep it simple. Just lettuce, cheese and corned beef. The adults would add in an extra layer of bell peppers.
Make sure you wash the lettuce well since nowadays supermarkets do spray disinfectant on the stuffs displayed on shelf.
I love bread skin, what about you? This is how I stack them. Cheese on one side, lettuce on another side of the bread. On top of cheese, I will put the bell peppers layer. On top of bell peppers layer, I add a layer of corned beef. Put the two sides together and you have your super yummy delicious sandwich.
There we go, a simple yummy meal!
Corned Beef Sandwich!
If you want to cut down carbs, you may use the lettuce as wrap instead of bread. After two slices of bread with the corned beef, I am still feeling hungry, so I eat the corned beef with lettuce. Yummy too! Good for diet haha.
