Dish of Love

do not belittle this bowl of fried rice.

you may think, "what's the big deal about fried rice?" all it takes is just 45 mins, some overnight cold rice, eggs, meat and sauce. if that is your thought, then it is so wrong.

it may be prepared in just 45 mins but every second of the preparation and the cooking counts. the amount of heat used during the cooking is important. if it is too cold, it will end up being soggy. if it is too hot, the heat will burn the rice and its ingredients and you will end up with a bowl of charcoal.

also, the chef's mind and strength is a core component... he has to be precise and creative in designing the perfect marination for the rice and meat... he needs to master and control his strength when beating the eggs and tossing of rice over the lightly oil pan...

finally, we examine the intention behind cooking the rice... it must be cooked with concentrated love and care. Not forgetting, it is the thought and action that brings this dish to its fullest flavor.

so this is no ordinary fried rice because...

it is a dish of love.

"Thank you, darling"
