Fried Rice - Taylor Style.

Starting out as a new blog, you get crazy. You take a zillion photos and write a trillion words. MANY of those pics and those words will never seen by the outside human eye yet the thrill of writing them will always be there.

We are still figuring it out and want to share our food and photography but not overly excited about laboriously typing out exact recipes (truth be told the idea of recipes is obsolete here in the Taylor household). Still finding our blogging flow, the next few posts will determine our format & style. Step by step or interesting snippets, measurements or experiments... Daily or weekly... Who knows! That's part of the excitement. 

We will, however share the important tips and tricks for tonight's meal, sooooo, here we go!! 

Tonights extravaganza was Fried Rice - Taylor Style. As usual it was Jake's job to cook & mine to drink wine and document the event for your entertainment. Yes, cooking is an event in the Taylor household and we intend to keep it that way. 

We have a few tricks to share that will make your Fried Rice the best ever. 

1. ALWAYS pre-cook the rice & let it cool before adding to the rest of your ingredients. We do ours in the rice cooker earlier in the day and refrigerate until needed (this will make all the difference!!) 

2. Fresh is Best. Fresh ingredients will give it the best flavours and textures. Make sure to add ginger, garlic, onions along with carrot, corn, peas. Try experimenting - we're trying cauli tonight. 

 

We also like to add fresh spring onion, cucumber and tomato at the end for that fresh crunch. 

3. Jake swears by palm sugar. It may not be the best for you but add a little finely grated to your fried rice - the flavour is RAD. 

The pics show the variety of the added flavours too & don't be afraid to ask questions xx There is pork mince and bacon, sweet chili sauce, omlette and kecap manis.... sesame and peanut oil... most importantly - family. A whole lot of family. 










This was easily the best Fried rice we have had yet - thinking the bacon was the clincher :) 

Cook It Mofo.
