best of both worlds

as you probably have read in my previous post, about my mom + her cooking and her mom duties of making sure her children are fed,  we had frozen some food she had us bring home the other week {a copious amount!}.  we were waiting for our schedules to align [a time where we are both home + an open dinner slot] and of course, not having this land on a friday [no meat lent friday!].

so that time was now.  i was very excited to break out the bánh bao {to die for!}.  it’s a favorite of mine, amongst a huge variety of other things my mom makes {honestly, everything is my ‘favorite’}.  hubby charming then created his own recipe for fried rice.  adding his own pizazz as he stir fried the white rice to perfection!  voila, a delicious meal created by my love, hubby charming, and my loving mother dearest!  it can’t get any better than that {right?}!!  it was the best of both worlds, combining their skills, and a damn good meal as a final result…yum, yum, yum.

here’s a recipe for some yummy fried rice.  not exactly the one hc used {he improvised} but very close!  enjoy!

DIRECTIONS

*In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. {hc says to use old rice, or let the rice sit for a day for best results!}
*In a small saucepan, boil carrots in water about 3 to 5 minutes. Drop peas into boiling water, and drain.
*Heat wok over high heat. Pour in oil, then stir in carrots and peas; cook about 30 seconds. Crack in eggs, stirring quickly to scramble eggs with vegetables. Stir in cooked rice. Shake in soy sauce, and toss rice to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again.
