Homemade Lunchie 26 July 2013

Mostly I prepared easy and simple meal for our lunch. For our lunchie today, it’s a one meal dish – Stewed Pork with mushroom, white carrots & Quail Eggs. It was a simple yet yummy dish! 

My Fried Rice

This is my homemade fried rice which my boys love a lot. Actually fried rice is easy to cook, but just a few tips to keep in mind.

Tip 1: Use previously chilled leftover rice
To get the perfect fried rice, it is better to use yesterday left over rice as it is less starchy because it has dry out a bit in the refrigerator. Sometimes if I do not have any leftover rice, I will cook the rice and let it cool down for around 1 hour before I fried it.  The heat of the pan and the seasoning like soy sauce will re-steam leftover rice. Using freshly cooked, hot rice, the end results will be too much moisture in the rice and the fried rice will be sticky and lumpy.

A simple lunch on a lazy afternoon

I always get specially tired during school holiday, especially NOW…. I do get double-ly tired very easily. Since we normally have something simple in the afternoon, I decided to cook for us Pasta since the 3 of us love it very much.

I cooked a simple lunch for myself after sending my boys to school.
