#leftover rice

Since sis already made breads for afternoon tea, we told mum not to make anything elaborate for dinner. So, she whipped up Char Siu Fried Rice (叉烧炒饭) using overnight cold rice. The char siu sauce dyed the rice reddish-brown and imparted a savoury sweet aftertaste. Mum also fried fish cakes to go with the fried rice.

Hey! I love your Japanese teacup art so much! I just wanted to let you know that when it's folded right over left, like in your art, that means the person is deceased! Left over right (always think leftover rice) is the proper and normal way for a kimono! Unless that was your intent in the art, but I thought I'd just let you know! 😊😊

We usually have some rice leftovers from the previous day, so mum used it to make fried rice. The reddish colour of this Char Siu & Egg Fried Rice (叉烧蛋炒饭) comes from the sweet char siu gravy. Mum prepared her Fried Chicken Mid Wings and added shabu shabu pork to the leftovers soup from last night.

There is always some leftover rice after dinner which mum kept in the fridge. She used this overnight rice with added eggs, char siu and the sweet red char siu gravy to come up with the reddish and savoury Char Siu Fried Rice (叉烧炒饭).
