I don't know about you but one of my favourite things to eat is fried rice. Even better if it's home made. Yes, not the overly done kind you get in most Canadian restaurants where you aren't sure if they have reheated the rice a few too many times and it sticks together in little solid lumps. Yeah. Not that kind.

But it's not that simple of a process either.
First you have to stream the rice. Then you have to let the rice cool a bit. Then you pour a little oil in a pan, fry the garlic, and shrimp, oh and cook the veggies a bit before you throw those in. Ok, so now you can throw in the rice. Crack an egg and drizzle over the rice, Oh yeah, and cook the scallops in butter and a bit of garlic before you add it to the rice. Well, its not that complicated if you've done it a thousand times. But in the end it's worth it to have fresh fried rice. Yum. And hopefully one of these days I will learn the ropes from an expert.

Fried rice looks amazing and even better when it's homemade by Momma Chen. Bring home the recipe! If you get a craving when you get back to Canada I make a delish Indonesian fried rice.
Awe...good to know Jodi, thanks! I would love to taste the difference between Indonesian and Chinese.
