Today as I walked from the plant to my car I felt as if every vein in my body was going to freeze up like frozen pipes. I just couldn't walk fast enough without possibly falling on ice and becoming the highlight of the show. HaHa!! But all I can say is that whoever invented heated car seats is an absolute genius!
I commute 1 hour and 15 minutes back and forth from work to home everyday. So on a daily basis I do have time to think about what I'm going to have for dinner. Considering the frigid temperatures, I was craving Vietnamese fried rice. I also knew it would be an easy, fast, and a one dish meal. Steamed rice is a staple in my home so it is no surprise to always have steamed rice available in my kitchen.
This Vietnamese fried rice is a recipe from my Mom and she makes the best fried rice in the world! Mom always uses pork in her fried rice. Pork does add more flavor and moisture. But for tonight I ended up using chicken breast since it was the only meat of choice left in my freezer.
I infused oil, garlic, and slightly sauteed onions to my steamed rice. I then added cooked chicken breast, scrambled egg, scallion, fish sauce, soy sauce, and black pepper. Not only is this dish delicious but the aroma is mouth watering.
Although the temperature outside is -2' with a wind shield of -25', the comfort of Vietnamese fried rice and watching Big Bang Theory was a great way to end my day.
