  8. If only my hubby will cook me fried rice.
    Maybe in my dreams, hahah!!

    The use of potatoes in fried rice is very new to me, Good idea to add some texture to the fried rice.
    I do agree with the fact of adding seasonings while boiling the rice. I did that too when I mass fried rice (300pax) for the students in my ex school. Saves a lot of seasoning work when the seasoning is already done when cooking the white rice.

  24. Yummy! I also learned the trick of using chicken rice to fried rice to make it more fragrant. I saw the hawker cook prepared the fried rice that my hubby ordered and he used chicken rice. That was my "Aha" moment.
