500 g ground beef

1 large size onion, chopped

2 green onion, thinly sliced

10 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp olive oil

36 g curry paste (store bought or homemade, best if you can use Gulai paste (thicker version of curry), if not, curry paste is fine)

salt and sugar to taste

cucumber pickles as shown (recipe will follow)

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil, saute chopped onion and sliced of 2 green onions; add in ground beef. Stir well, add in sweetener (sugar) and salt to taste followed with curry paste (I love using ready to use brand of Gule Bamboe - available at Asian store or online), stir well, cook until well done. Set aside.

In a bowl, using your electric mixer, process eggs mixed with 1 tsp baking soda. Pour egg mixture into slightly cooled ground beef mixture; stir well. Add in 1 green onion (sliced); stir well.

Line baking sheet/pyrex with aluminum foil, brush evenly with 1 tbsp olive oil. Pour in egg and beef mixture.
