Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Leftover rice or rice cooked the day/a few hours before
  • 1.5 tablespoons Tomato sauce or ketchup
  • Protein of choice (Use however much you like. I use whatever meat is leftover in the fridge, usually chicken)
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • White pepper
  • 1-2 Tomatoes
  • 1 Onions/shallots
  • Spring onions however much you like!
  • Coriander however much you like!

Instructions
 

  • Note: this will take you 10 minutes to make if you're using leftover rice. If you haven't made your rice & starting from scratch, make sure to cook your rice the day/ a few hours before and leave it in the fridge to cool. This will prevent your fried rice from getting mushy.

Prepare your ingredients

  • Cook your protein. I usually use leftover chicken for this so it's already cooked.
  • Cut your protein into small peices. Mince your garlic. Dice your shallots. Deseed and dice your tomatoes. Finely slice your coriander & spring onion. Set aside.
  • Scramble your eggs. Set aside.

Cook your fried rice!

  • In a pan or wok on high heat, add oil. Add shallots/onions & tomatoes. Toss for a few minutes and then add minced garlic. Toss around for a minute or so. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add your egg mixture. Let it cook through (like an omelette) and use your spatula to cut the egg into little pieces. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Before adding the rice, make sure your pan is scorching hot (smoke should be rising from the pan). Add oil. Add rice. Using your spatula to seperate the grains if they are stuck together. Add your cooked veges and eggs. Add your cooked protein. Stir together for 30 seconds.
  • Add half a cup of tomato sauce. A pinch of salt, sugar and white pepper powder. Stir well.

Notes

If you have leftover rice, this dish will only take you 10 minutes to cook. Throw in with your protein and veggies of choice. You’ll be surprised by how yummy this is!

Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal ent Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal entry <see grid> about why I quit my job at L’Oreal to move to the Northern Rivers for a new job at Conscious Ground, a certified organic farm dedicated to regenerating the land. 
I’m so excited to be joining this legend @baron_walton & to be making content about the eco-system being built that is Conscious Ground —  farm to table // regenerative farming to holistic cookery. 🍃 
Come on over and check out what we’re up to. Head over to @consciousground
Here are some BTS snippets from the last 3 weeks — so excited to share more with you in the new year. 
Happy holidays everyone! 🌈

A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused on making vege loaded meals to nourish our bodies — treating Veges as the main dishes with Meat as a side, rather than the other way around. ✌🏽 
From left to right —
1. Thai beef salad (see video on my grid for recipe) / Stir fry Bok choy topped with hemp seeds / Grilled chicken satay (see video for recipe) 
2. Turmeric chicken noodle soup 
3. Wednesday night treat 🤤
4. Lettuce salad & hemp seeds / Veg packed Fried rice 
5. Sourdough (from the bakery.. I didn’t make it 😅)
Will drop my next video in the coming weeks, just taking a little break as I settle back into Aus 🙏🏼

Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple salsa / Coriander jasmine rice / Paprika dusted pineapple / Lettuce salad 
End-of-week-fridge-clean-out used to be my least favourite part of home cooking because I’d often be left with excess produce I didn’t know how to use outside of a recipe, but as I gained more confidence in the kitchen (through doing, learning more dishes, stuffing up & repeating), I started looking forward to it more. In fact, I love it now — it’s like a nice end of week challenge! 
It’s probs because I’m forced to think outside the box, which makes me feel like an **artist** — you gotta work with what you’ve got (sometimes u just gotta shekk 💃🏻 what ur mama 🤰gave ya). 
Excluding our classic pantry staples, we had beef brisket, a whole pineapple, carrots, coriander, lettuce, tomatoes, lemons & lime, onions & ginger left over in the fridge. 
With the help of some spices, herbs, fish sauce & half a bottle of Merlot, I threw together this delicious slow cooked beef stew (ok fine I also chucked in a lil cocoa powder & ground coffee [my rationale was literally.. “oooo.. what if I just… yolo.. oops! *simmer for 6 hours * *taste*.. okay I vibe that..]). 
To cut through the rich beef flavours I made a pineapple salsa, lettuce salad, coriander rice & paprika dusted pineapple. 🍍🥬🍚
Twas scrumptious. Just ask Jason. 👀

Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao 生煎 包(well, kinda). 
My first crack at this dish — I didn’t have cake flour so I subbed with a flour + cornstarch mix, which meant the dough was a little on the chewier side (vs. fluffy & white). Not the ideal 生煎包 texture but they kinda reminded me of Momos (Nepalese dumplings), which took me way back to 2018 when @berntoohey and I did the Everest base camp trek 🏔 Momo coma 🤌🏽
@brendan_pang I literally jumped up and down when I got this book in the mail for my bday (thank you @y__ilin) and have loved all the recipes I’ve tried so far! 🥟
