MIDDAY RICE

I had all the ingredients for a simple fried rice (day-old rice, Thai basil, fresh eggs, cucumber, ginger and garlic), so I just went for it. The lunch came together in less than 8 minutes, and so, so good with a swirl of sriracha on top.

 

COMPLETELY FULL

I haven’t cooked at all since I’ve been in Ithaca — I’m truly being spoiled, and enjoying the break from the kitchen. Lucky me, beautiful Kathryn made me lunch to eat in her backyard yesterday. Azuki beans, kale and steamed tofu fried rice. Healthy, nourishing, and full of promise.

SECOND TRY

I had a strong craving for fried rice the other afternoon but all of my leftovers weren’t really conducive to a truly proper rendition of the dish. Whatever, I made it anyway — coriander-scented day-old rice fried with leftover lentils, asparagus, ginger, cilantro and scallions, finished with a bit of sesame oi. Surprising how delicious it was considering it was all so simple, so plain Jane. All it needed was a fried egg to push it over the edge.
