My Favourite Fried Rice

I seldom help out my mom in the kitchen. Just that sometimes play a role as observer rather than an assistant. That’s where I learned the recipe. I never try it out until I got married. After married, I used to cook some simple stuffs like fried rice, fried rice vermicelli, koay teow th’ng, assam laksa, chicken rice, nasi lemak, pasta, and spaghetti during weekends. During weekdays, I will just cook some Chinese cuisine like steam fish, stir fry vegetables, various kind of egg dishes, and several kinds of soups (place all ingredients in the slow cooker before I go to work, and cook for about 10 hours). Occasionally, I will try out new recipe, which I got it from the internet. My hubby like my dishes very much :P.

It’s quite often for me to cook fried rice, as the ingredients can be easily achieve from the fridge.

    Hello dear, don’t eat too much fried rice unless the rice is fresh not overnight rice and rice that is left overnight (even in the fridge) will have chemical reaction and leads to cancer. Not sure if this is true, but better to eat fresh food, if you don’t believe overnight food kept in no matter how tight the container is will taste differently… use fresh rice cooked in the morning before you go to work ok??

    Thanks Elaine. Noted. I think I went through article on the chemical reaction for rice left overnight. So, I practise to eat only fresh rice, even for the fried rice. Just need to let it cool before frying.
