Fried rice

January 19, 2022 7:05 PM

So I looked at this photo and I thought, "What is this?" At first I thought it was some sort of beef and cabbage stir fry, but if it were that then I'd have rice on the side, and then I realized there is rice in this, it's just fried rice.

I think it does have cabbage though. It also looks like there's onion and egg and little dried shrimps. I'm sure I used a recipe for this, but I don't know if I could track that down now.

I'm sure it was good. Fried rice is always good.

Pizza

The next set of photos I found on my phone were of some pizza I made last spring. I'm sure at the time I struggled with this and I thought I overcooked the dough, but looking back on these photos? This looks delicious.

Man, I really want to get back into cooking.

I love 腊肉

There is just something that I love about the combination of incredibly flavorful fried meat, pickled vegetables, and a bowl of white rice to balance it all out. It's 100% my kind of comfort food, and it reminds me of childhood.

Quinoa and tilapia

So I just got back from visiting some family for a week, and my aunt decided to give me enough home cooked food for another week. In the mean time, I'll show some food that I made last spring that I barely remember.

This salad has chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes, feta, and quinoa! Look at how healthy I was. I actually still have that same bag of uncooked quinoa sitting in my pantry. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it.

And here's a poorly taken photo of some tilapia I cooked. You know what I have in my freezer right now? Tilapia. I have no idea how long it's been in there.

But at least I know what I'm going to do with my tilapia. Tacos. Once I get through all this food that my aunt packed for me.

Stovetop mac 'n cheese

You would think that after eating way too much mac n cheese and fried mac n cheese cubes that I would just stop making mac n cheese altogether. But no. I just stopped baking it in the oven and turning them into fried cubes. When I was a little kid, I loved baked mac n cheese, but I think my tastes have changed over time.

I saw this broccoli shells and cheese recipe on How Sweet Eats and I immediately saved it for a time when I would buy too much milk and needed to use it up before it expired.

For some reason I thought mac n cheese was hard. This was actually so easy. The recipe said to use freshly grated cheese, but pre-shredded works perfectly fine. It tasted great, and I might decide to make this for Thanksgiving next year.
