Fried rice mise en place.
-
Sometimes I end up with the weirdest one offs of meat like pre cooked burger patties for free. Fried rice is the perfect way to use them up and clear out any veg scraps too.
This is the time added fresh ginger. I planted some and now have a supply of fresh ginger to use without paying a fortune.
Eggs free from the yard.
Cost per person: maybe $1

This year I’m working on pizza, fried rice and nachos. They are base meals that are dirt cheap and allow for a lot of variation on flavors with leftovers and scraps.
Economy with diversity.

I jest, this sort of thing is awesome. I’m a mega fan of rice so frying this off in an amount of oil that would give Dubya Bush a hard-on sounds just divine.
How did it turn out?

Peanut oil: 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil: 2 tablespoons
It turned out like fried rice for dinner. Which is nice. More people should do it.

Needs more garlic.

Touchy subject. Recently my wife started becoming more and more sensitive to garlic. I don’t know what’s going on. Either way she complains if there’s too much in there so I have to find out what the bare minimum is. So this used just under half the amount of garlic I would have normally put in here. But the ginger and MSG did a nice job of still balancing for the right flavor.

For the past month, every time I open the freezer and see the leftover box of burgers from 4th of July I just sigh and shut the door.
Thank you so much for this!
We used to make fried rice almost every weekend, sometimes with ham, spam, hotdog, longanisa, chorizo, kielbasa, etc… until the price of eggs went up to $10 a dozen.

I struggled to think of a use for these precooked burgers and hiding them in fried rice just seemed like the best option. Other ideas I considered were boxed mac and cheese or pizza.

Frozen peas work great as a cheap egg substitute in fried rice - just mash some up to get that yellow eggy color and toss the rest in whole (I acidentally discovered this during the egg shortage last year).

Oh no! I’m so sorry, that sounds stressful. I’m glad you managed to balance it though.

It’s been weird.
