FORMALITIES FRIED RICE POST

this is the formalities as-expected fried rice post. i have heard of SO many ways to do fried rice, each similar in preparation yet diversified in ingredients. frankly, fried rice is a dish that chinese people traditionally use to get rid of their leftovers, so everything is fair game. it’s a return-to-pot hodge podge dish, like frittatas and stone soup. pictures above feature salty duck egg and chinese sausage.

general template recipe: 

• make an egg omelet/scramble (like scrambled eggs but with only 50% of the scramble)
• remove egg from pan
• in emptied pan, stir fry garlic + choice of meat
• add rice (old, refrigerated, and stale rice works best i have found)
• add sauces, generally soy sauce, or satay, or oyster. whatever. this is fried rice. do as you please.
• add green onions last. mix and serve.

*in my case i skipped the egg omelet thing and added salty egg after rice and before sauces. also, i used brown rice and that was not fantastic.
