Kampong Fried Rice

Kampong Fried Rice

My home grown chilly tree, its taller than my house.

Hi everyone,

Greetings from the Kampong!

Today, the recipe is for a spicy fried rice.

It is best to use cooked overnight rice for best result. Freshly cooked rice tend to be stickly and wet.

In the Kampong, most of the ingredients are fresh, like chillies, serai [lemon grass], curry leaves, pandan leaves are all grown in their back yard. I , too grow my own chillies. Eggs are freerange, so are the chickens and ducks and goats. Kampong cooking usually needs a pestle and mortar for best results, the blender only chop up the ingredients and the taste is very different.
