My family has always enjoyed corned beef with eggs and onions, considering it a luxury. We still eat it with rice or on bread. “Corned beef is a salt-cured brisket, named for the large grains of rock salt used in its preparation. It has been a staple in many cuisines and a common military ration from the 17th to 20th centuries. While popular in various dishes, it is high in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, so it’s best to eat it in moderation to reduce cancer risk.”

“Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan and is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish. Chinese fried rice- light soy sauce and dark soy sauce are used. A blazing hot wok (a wok is ideal, but a large pan) will do”.

The first thing you need to know about wok cooking is that oil is very important. To bring flavour around your dish, flavour the oil first. If you want to learn good wok technique, this simple fried rice is a good choice. Fried rice is affordable, quick and easy to make. Although it’s “plain” in its ingredient list and technique, it’s a fantastic dish to learn some very valuable and basic Chinese cooking skills.

By now you know me, I like to combine West meets East flavoured meal. My meal that is comforting, satisfying, colourful and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
