Ever get one of those days where, although nothing specifically bad happened, just left you feeling you got nowhere? Well, I just had one. No one died; no one was hurt; no promises or expectations were broken or dashed. It was just kind of empty and uninspiring.
So I was feeling kind of lost when it came to cooking time. Had a bunch of stuff in the fridge which need using up, so...
Did some spicy beef fried rice with unused sugar snap peas from yesterday. Beef, rice, shiitake mushrooms, leeks, chilli and the peas. No egg. No soy sauce (soy sauce in fried rice? Unheard of!)
Beef fried rice isn't even a thing here. We get egg fried rice and Yangzhou fried rice and that's it. I would bet heavy money I'm the only person in this city of 5 million who has ever cooked it or eaten it.
Anyway, it filled the hole and tomorrow is another day for which I have more gastronautical ideas.
