As further
evidence that I need to either marry someone who can cook or afford someone who could or just risk dying altogether, today I am going to show you a very lazy way to cook fried rice. The ingredients are simple enough: leftover rice, dried meat, golden mushroom and egg. Obviously, there are also the usual suspect of oil, salt, pepper and soy sauce but the meat is quite flavorful already so go easy on the seasoning.
Not wanting to waste my DSLR but hands were too shaky, the pictures turned out blurry. Imagine them in glorious full resolution.
- Fry the egg up first to get a nice sunny side up. Or you could fry it together with the rice later. I had a hankering for it so didn't give it the usual fried rice treatment.
- Fry up the chopped dried meat next to bring out the flavors and give it a crispy edge. This is one thing that gets most traction during the lunar new year. Who buys/eats them during the rest of the year?
- Fry up the mushroom together with the meat so that the mushroom would absorb some of its flavor. You could separate the mushroom and cut it into smaller sections but they tend to shrivel up once cooked so what's the point? Apart from laziness.
- Add in the rice next. Add salt, pepper, whatever seasoning that you feel like. Chili wasn't one for me since the meat was savory sweet but I think it would have given it a nice kick.
Final product tasted better than it looked because I was already too shaky from hunger and anticipation.
Don't forget the egg. Helps to mask how
ugly unappetizing your cooking is. But it tasted pretty nice (to me).
