Nudging myself back into cooking, I decided to go easy and do a simple and put together a simple fried rice with shrimp. Not the best shrimp ever, but what had in the Antarctica simulator. Leftover rice from yesterday (the best for fried rice). Garlic, ginger. I knew one Thai-type bird's eye chili would be just right, so I added two. Egg. Scallions. Finished with sesame oil and black pepper. No soy sauce!
(I am sorely tempted to launch into a diatribe about the awful fried rice recipes littering the interwebs, especially YouTube, but I'll hold my tongue - except to say that if you like your fried rice eggs scrambled for 5 minutes at high heat, Ken Hom is your man! If you like them done for about 15 seconds, you are all mine!).
