Of all the recipes I have made over the years, there are some recipes I just tend to mess up. It's always the quick dishes I'm trying to make in a hurry like bacon. I don't know how many times I have burnt bacon. I think it's the standing there and being focused on one thing when I have children running around, phones ringing, and other distractions. Well, my husband always request his bacon crispy just not that crispy. I have also attempted to make fried rice several times but I was doing something wrong. So, we tend to go to a local Hibachi table where they prepare the food in front of you. I figured if I went enough times then I would learn the technique. Do you like my reasoning? When I made this recipe, the kids said it tasted just like when we go out to eat. My daughter asked me to make it again tomorrow. I finally made edible fried rice so next will be bacon.

Growing up, there were plenty of opportunities to eat fried rice! (Thanks for taking me down memory lane!) It was the go-to dish for cleaning out the refrigerator of leftovers. We're Chinese but we never made it with the sauce--we only had fried rice with sauce at wedding banquets (and other celebrations). My favorite combo is mixed veggies (frozen mix), scrambled egg, char-siu or Chinese sausage and sliced green onions.
ReplyDeleteI love fried rice so I would have loved eating it more frequently growing up. My sister told me I need to make char-sui for the steamed buns then I will add some next time I make fried rice. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope you have a wonderful Chinese New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your well wishes! I hope to see the steamed buns on your blog soon. Making steamed buns isn't a territory I've explored yet--that was something we always bought from dim sum restaurants, and many of them sold char-siu and Peking ducks already prepared, much like how we can purchase rotisserie chickens from supermarkets.
