Fried Rice Recipe

Since my last entry about Apple Lettuce Salad, i've been wanting to share the recipe of my best dish, but i just couldn't find the time and motivation to do so.

Thank God for all, i had the urge to whip up my best and favourite dish (Fried Rice Kiwi Style) this afternoon for my dinner. It's simple to prepare, nice to eat and easy to clean up. Introducing, Fried rice in 15min!(Inclusive of preparation time).

Ingredients are as follows (Up to individual preference actually):

• Cooked rice 4 to 5 scoop(For me doesn't matter it's overnight or freshly cooked, it taste as delicious after some wild fire stirring).
• 2 to 3 eggs.
• 2 to 3 hotdogs.
• Dark soy sauce.
• Seseame Oil.
• Garlic(Optional).
• Pepper(A Must!).
• Salt.

Steps to prepare:

1. (For an even distribution of flavouring with less or even no mess while frying the rice.) Pour the rice into a large bowl. Mix the rice with 2 to 3 table spoon of dark soy sauce & 1 to 2 table spoon of seseame oil. Stir the rice evenly with the condiments added. When it's evenly mixed, leave it to rest at room temperature or chuck it into the fridge.
2. Slice 2 to 3 hotdogs thinly and chuck it one side.
3. Beat up 2 to 3 eggs with 1 tea spoon of light soy sauce and chuck it one side.
4. Chop 1 small garlic into fine bits. (Optional unless you're a garlic lover.)
5. Fried shallot (Optional).

Now we're all set to go!

1. Heat up cooking oil till it's hot. *Reminder, all the stages of cooking are done on the highest possible fire your stove can perform for you.
2. Pour in your beaten eggs and keep stirring till it's cook and breaks into very small pieces. When it's about 80% cooked, throw in your sliced hotdogs and stir fry it with your eggs.
3. (Optional step). Push all ingredients onto one side of the pan and stir fry your chopped garlic till golden brown.
4. Mix all ingredients together and stir fry it till it's 100% cooked, then pour in your pre-mixed rice and mix everything together evenly. (You can use a ladle to do so. For lazy pple like me, just give it a few toss, but do it at your own risk). Keep tossing for about 2 minutes till the rice is about drying up.
5. Add in 1 to 1 & 1/2 teaspoon of salt & 1 to 2 teaspoon of pepper. Keep tossing for another 2 to 3 minutes till everything is mixed well. Taste and see whether you like your fried rice to be more saltish or pepperish and add as accordingly.
6. Toss for another minute or 2 under high fire to ensure best results.
7. Serve & top it with some fried shallot.

Done! Fried rice that serves 2(for big eaters) & 4(for the diet watchers).

For the ingredients, i've tried using silver fish, and diced scallop. It's gives a totally savouring seafood taste. As i'm a meat lover, so no greens were involved in this dish. But, put your creativity to the test and you might just create "Your Style Fried Rice"! Try it today and share with me/us your creations.

• My first ever try out of salad when i'm not even a vege lover. Introducing, *drum roll* "The Apple Lettuce Salad!!!"

• Come on, come grade the looks and ingredients. Not grading for taste, because you can't taste it. Post your grade as a comment.

• Ingredients are as follows:

1. 2 head of lettuce
2. 20 cherry tomatoes
3. 3 red apples

- Peel off the lettuce and tear it into bite size. Wash and lay it evenly over the platter.

- Wash the cherry tomatoes and half it, lay it evenly over the lettuce.

- De-seed all the apples, with skin on, cut it into bite size and wash it in a bowl of salt water to preserve it's freshness and prevent it from turning yellow. Then spread it evenly over the lettuce too.

- Cut away the bottom part of the mushroom, rinse in water to get rid of excess mud and earth smell. Boil a pot of water to boiling point, blanch the mushroom in the boiling water. Cook for about 2 minutes and rinse it in cold running water to stop cooking process. Once cooled, spread it evenly over the lettuce too.

- Once done, spread approximately a cup of heinz salad cream evenly over those ingredients. Send it for chilling once done. Dish is best served chilled.

Chicken a la Carte

A friend forwarded me a video of a "Winner of Berlin Short Film Festival" entitled, "Chicken a la Carte".

It's a short film about the effect of globalisation in some parts of the world.

It's only a 6min 10sec video. Please don't pass it by.

Nvm about the song, the singer, but focus on the meaning of this video.

It brought about compassion and 2nd thoughts on my expectations in life, materially.
