A typical dish of fried rice. The latter is made out of the left-over rice the previous night. Of course, you can also cook fresh rice too but preferable let it cool over few hours prior to cooking. Common ingredients used are prawns, eggs, pieces of "char-siew", fried fragrant garlic, long beans, light soy sauce and pieces of fried salted fish (optional).Garnish with spring onions.
Another quick dish is using canned sardines with spaghetti. Other ingredients that are normally used are cucumber, onions and pineapples (the latter 3 are thinly sliced), fresh chili and some vinegar to make it slightly sourish. The latter can be substituted with tamarind. As this was a last minute decision, most of these ingredients mentioned were not available, instead i added in fresh prawns and some mint leaves. And this last minute lunch turned out to be tasty and appetizing too.
It's good to have home-grown mint leaves in your garden. Look at this plant that i have grown many moons ago. Easy to grow and little maintenance. Just some water and some sunlight and not forgetting some organic fertilizers too.
