Fried Rice

My coworker, Tony, has the most lovely wife - Lulu. Tony one day brought me a sampler of her homemade fish sauce and I was hooked.

Recently, I took him a full bottle of "Three Crab" fish sauce from the store so he could have her make it into her awesome concoction.
So from this:
To this:

I tried figuring out what's in it. All I can tell is sugar, garlic, and red chili pepper. It's the bomb.

Hi, welcome back to 1995.

I promise not to say "the bomb" again.

Since Lee was out with friends, I concocted a quick fried rice for myself.

First I boiled water and added a bag of rice.

Oh yeah, keepin' it classy with the bagged rice.

Once that was done, I cracked 2 eggs in a pan.
Then I cracked open a bottle of wine...

and diced some green onion...

Once the eggs were pretty scrambled I dumped in the rice...

Then I drizzled some of the fish sauce over the top...
Then I added the green onion and a little olive oil and stirred it up...

This was the perfect single gal dinner - no meat required!


Why do men think it's not a meal without meat?

This fish sauce is my new obsession, along with red curry and peanut sauce.

And sushi.

Oh man.


What do you like to make when home alone?

This looks so yummy! And no worries, I still use "the bomb" routinely.
