Fried Rice Then and Later #QuarantineCooking

Posted on April 21, 2020 by Marian Allen

Often, for me, cooking is like Legos. Little bits of things go together really well to make a bigger thing.

Like fried rice, f’rinstance.

I started with a bit of frozen mirepoix (onion, carrots, and celery), and added leftover rice and a bit of cooked chicken from the freezer. I served it with a side of corn. It was delicious and filling, and we had a bit left over.

So, the next day, this happened:

Two little bits went together to make one bigger bit. That’s a breakfast plate, by the way, and small flour tortillas. Plenty for a satisfying lunch.

I’m posting at Fatal Foodies today about another bits-and-bobs meal, this one with noodles.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about Legos.

Funny- I had fried rice yesterday, too. But, mine was totally vegetarian. Hope yours was as good.
