Fried Rice with Apple Cubes (Meatless Recipe)

This is a simple fried rice from scratch.  I had a red apple left and nobody seems to take the initiative to eat it and 2 stalks of almost wilted Chinese Leeks.  It's already end of the week and the next day I needed to replenish my fridge with fresh produce for the following week. Throw???  Better not!!!!  Whatever it is, THRIFTY is the word!  Yes, we need to be thrifty in our spending and throwing food is a big NO NO for me!  
Be creative and innovative in your cooking and you will be surprised you can actually save a lot!  End result? Simple and yummy fried rice for the whole family!
Ingredients :
- 3 bowls of leftover/over night rice (I used brown rice)
- 1 red apple (peeled and cubed)
- 2 stalks of Chinese Leeks (washed and cut)
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- 1/2 mashed salted egg white(I used the leftover from my previous cooking here, and  here,)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 3 red onions (finely chopped)
Seasonings : (to taste)
- salt
- pepper
- soy sauce
- dark caramel sauce
Method :
1)  Heat oil in a wok. Saute garlic and onion until aromatic.
2)  Add leeks and apple cubes and give it a quick stir.

3)  Add rice and mashed salted egg white.  Stir fry and mix well.

4)  Spread the rice evenly over the wok and pour beaten egg all over the rice.  When the egg has almost set, stir fry until fragrant.
5)  Add seasonings and keep stirring until the rice is well blended with the egg and the seasonings.
Serve hot.
If you don't like this brownish looking fried rice, may be you would be more interested in another version of my fried rice.

Fragrant Golden Fried Pearl White Rice (Meatless Recipe)

I have wanted to cook golden fried rice for the past few days but if I am to use brown rice for this, the outcome may not be that great.  You see, we have been consuming brown rice for more than 15 years and occasionally I would buy white rice if there's any recipe that need it or give better result if used white rice. Then, I remember I still have a packet of Sekinchan pearl white rice and decided to use it.  The rice is pearl white and I know if I would to fry it with egg yolks, the colour would be great.


This rice is very yummy if used it to cook porridge :)
Look at the rice; oblong shape and glossy white
This golden fried rice is adapted from Y3K Recipe 73 pg 24

This is a very simple, quick and yummy fried rice.  It's my first time trying out this golden fried rice and we love it.  We had it with simple stir fried bok choy and chicken soup.  A very simple but satisfying meal :)
Ingredients :
- 4 bowls of cold cooked rice
- 2 hard boiled salted duck egg yolks (I used homemade salted duck eggs)
- 4 egg yolks
- cooking oil (I used ghee oil)
Seasonings : (to taste) I omitted the seasonings as my homemade salted duck eggs is already quite salty
- pepper
- salt


Method :
1)  Mashed the salted duck egg yolks.
2)  Add egg yolks to the  cold rice.

3)  Mix well the egg yolks with the rice.
4)  Heat oil in a wok and add mixed egg yolk rice.  Stir fry and mix well until aromatic.

5)  Add mashed salted duck egg yolk.  Stir and mix well until aromatic.
6)  Add seasonings if necessary and serve.
Here's a bowl of aromatic Golden Fried Rice on me :)
Isn't this golden yellow rice look great?
You can do it too.  It's easy peasy and fuss free~

Fragrant Eggplant Rice (using Toshiba Rice Cooker)

I bought some eggplants the other day but still wondering how to prepare it in a different way.  I used to either pan-fried or stir-fried (click at the links for the full recipes) it.  
I remember seeing eggplant rice in one of my collection of YumYum recipe books.  So, this recipe is from YumYum (41) page 73.  It's a very simple and homey dish.  We had it with Chinese Mustard Chicken Soup and a simple stir-fried baby bok choy.

Recipe source : YumYum 41, pg 73, with some minor modification
Ingredients :
1.5 cups of rice (I used brown rice)
- 2 medium-sized eggplants (washed and cut)
- 1 bowl pork belly (sliced)
- 1 tbsp dried shrimps (washed and finely chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (finely chopped) 

some oil (I used ghee)

Seasonings : (to taste)
- salt
- light soy sauce
- sweet caramel sauce (kicap manis)

Method :
1)  Cook rice in a rice cooker.


2)  Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok.  Saute garlic until fragrant.
3)  Then, add dried shrimps and stir fry until aromatic.
4)  Add in pork, eggplant and seasonings.  
5)  Stir fry until well  mixed.  Dish up and set aside.

6)  When the rice is almost cooked (before the beep sound), transfer the fried ingredients into rice.
7)  Close the lid and let it keep warm for about 1/2 hour.

8)  Stir and mix well.
9)  Close and continue to keep warm until it's ready to serve.
My hubby likes it with some chopped chilies + Chinese coriander + soy sauce

Do enjoy :)
