Sometimes you just have to go for it.
I’ve been craving Asian food since just before the lockdown, I mean, quarantine. So tonight I took the plunge to make some.
Mind you, any other time I’ve tried to make Asian food it came out HORRIBLY. I just could never replicate the taste of my favorites. Egg Foo Young. Lo Mein. Korean Barbecue. Tempura anything. So today I was looking up recipes (#foodporn) and I didn’t have the ingredients for any of them.
But I was determined. So I combined a couple of different recipes and made a leap of faith in my improv cooking skills. Mom was, after all, a caterer.
Here is the result—Pineapple Fried Rice and Tempura Shrimp. OMG, it was delicious. I used these ingredients:
jasmine rice
onion
whole salted cashews
raisins
frozen pineapple
soy sauce
curry powder
eggs
I am so excited. My mom would be proud of me.
Tho I did cheat with the shrimp. I had some frozen, already tempura’d shrimp in the freezer.😊
