Open face Otah Sandwich 乌打三明治

We just returned home a couple of days ago from a trip to Hong Kong. All of us turned at least 2 shades darker. :/  It was tiring! Worst than being a maid mum at home. And now I have triple loads of laundry to clear. I need another holiday!!



Im not sure how soon I will get back to my usual food posting so heres a quick one. Its remake of a simple Otah Toast presented differently. I prefer the bread toasted as it makes it crunchier. Im using hotdog buns here. You are free to use burger bun or just bread. They worked the same.



I toasted the buns in the oven, you can always use a toaster or frying pan.

Ingredients:

• 3 pcs Otah, smashed


• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon butter, depending on how dry the otah is


• 1 Hotdog Bun, sliced half length-wise

How to do it:

1. Mix butter sparing with smashed otah so they stick together.


2. Spread on the hotdog buns.


3. Toast in a preheated oven at 200C for 10 minutes.


4. Serve immediately.

The Tuna Melt – Open Face Insert Hypocrisy

If you watch as much food television as I do, then I’m sure you’ve heard a celebrity chef or two, pontificating about the horrors of combining cheese and fish. They say it’s never acceptable, no exceptions, never, ever.

Of course, after the show ends, they have a couple beers and head for their favorite late-night diner, where they enjoy delicious tuna melts. Those hypocritical bastards. I’m not saying to start pouring nacho cheese sauce over your sautéed sand dabs, but when it comes to food, it’s best to never say never.

As I mention in the video, this will only be as good as your tuna, so use something nice. You know I’m a Tonino man, but any imported, olive-oil packed brand should work fine. By the way, I enjoy the classic, toasted sandwich-style tuna melt a great deal, but this open face version is a little easier to execute, and perfect for larger groups, since you can fit a bunch on a pan.

Whether you use my formula or embellish to your tastes, I really hope you give these a try soon. And, if you know any celebrity chefs, invite them over and see if you can get them to admit this totally works. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 2 large tuna melts:

2 thick slices of Italian or French bread

2 tbsp soft butter

6.5 oz jar of oil-packed tuna, drained

2 tbsp small diced celery

1 tbsp minced green onion

2 tsp capers

1 tsp hot chili sauce or other hot stuff to taste

salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp mayonnaise, or more to taste

about 1/3 cup shredded or crumbled fresh mozzarella

1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

cayenne to taste
