… Schezuan Eggy Rice & Crunch Salad
I am very aware that this project has slowed down a lot. I am also very aware that I am behind in writing up the blog posts. Tonight I’m writing about a meal I cooked on the 7th of February. Writing this will be as much about a test of memory as it will be about the meal. After this one I have four more to write before I am up to date. I hope to do them all this weekend and cook at least one more meal.
There is quite a lot of rice in these 15 Minute Meals. You, broadly speaking, cook with three kinds of rice. Normal (Basmati) rice, 10 minute rice and pre-cooked rice. I have written about my very mixed feelings about 10 minute rice several times now. And once this project is over I doubt I will ever cook with it again. I can wait the extra five or so minutes and cook some proper rice.
This meal requires you to cook the pre-cooked rice and it basically becomes egg fried rice. A pretty decent egg fried rice. I have to say that I prefer the pre-cooked rice to the 10 minute rice. Which is another reason not to cook with10 minute rice. If there is nicer rice available that can actually be cooked quicker (assuming that you count heating as cooking) then why cook something less nice that takes longer.
Other wise this meal is quite uneventful to cook. There are a lot of ingredients and quite a bit to chop, some by hand and some in the food processor. I think that’s why I went a little over the fifteen minutes.
This is a really very nice and tasty meal. It tastes fresh and good. And it made for a good lunch the next day.
