I need to do this when I have leftover brown rice from my Chinese meal. What's your favorite veggies to use in it?

[innerbrat]

I use "veggies wot are in the fridge and need using up," which this week included: half a green pepper, a wotsit (sprout? tree) of broccoli, two scallions spring onions, half an avocado and two handfuls of walnuts. And it was delicious.

Oh now that sounds LOVELY. OM NOM NOM NOM

Now I have to order Chinese so that I can have leftovers to make my own version ;)

A big tree of broccoli is called a head. The little trees it is comprised of are florets.

[innerbrat]

Heheheh head.

I mean - thank you for the info!

This is very different to the way I do egg fried rice. Do you find that cooking the rice fresh makes any difference?

[innerbrat]

I occasionally cook it fresh! I don't find it makes a difference at all.

I was told that, unless you used day-old rice, the shock would shift the orbit of this planet and everything would be laid waste. I've never really had a problem with it, but I do find that the rice tends to cake unless you give it time to dry out.

Somebody on the phones told me this week that he had lost faith in all our ruling classes and that was why he'd decided to start voting conservative. Sometimes things one is told can contain mild inaccuracies.
