Since we all appreciate good food and I know I love to eat food I figure I start a thread.  Post pics or food tips of where to eat or what you cooked.

Tonites dinner:
Lasagna- bacon topped, extra sharp cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, eggplant sliced extra thin instead Pfizer noodles, sauce of fresh herbs, tomatoes, sausage, wine and scotch bonnet peppers
Baked in a cast iron pot 400 degrees for an hour

Holy sh*t!  That looks ONO!  Everything is better with BACON!

Better eat that now, before they outlaw BACON!

Turkey ala king is great with the frozen leftover turkey

Only need some veggies, butter, flour, mushrooms, milk/cream
and peppercorns. Oh...salt and pepper.

Melt couple sticks of real butter in a pot and throw in about 1/2 bag of frozen veggies, about 1 Tbsp of peppercorns  and a can of mushrooms n save the liquid.
Cook em for 5-6 minutes then throw in 1/2 cup of flour and stir til kinda smooth. Throw in 1t of salt, small kine pepper and ~1
Cup of milk or cream (I just used a can of condensed milk) and the mushroom liquid   Lower the heat and keep stirring so no burn the cream sauce. Stir til smooth.
Throw in a bunch of shredded or chopped turkey or chicken leftovers. I put about 2-3 rice bowls full of turkey but can put more. Heat thru and pau.

Takes about 10-15 minutes to make. Super easy

I am pretty much turkeyed out. So it was time for something different.
I had a chance to work with Titus Chan many years ago and he made fried rice. He said, "Make an omelet first".
Then just add everything else. Breakfast this morning was fried rice made with leftover this n' that.
Eggs
turkey tail
char siu
shrimp
white and brown rice
celery
round onion
green onion
peas
Harm ha (shrimp paste)
oyster sauce
shoyu

Man that looks good! So you put everything in the eggs and then just add the rice after?

========================
Almost everything. If you have shrimp you need to add it at the correct time so it does not overcook and get rubbery.
Raw shrimp at the beginning of the omelet. Cooked shrimp at the end of the omelet. A techinque I use to color the rice is to save some raw egg mixture until after the rice is added. Then I make a hole, pour the egg in the hole and cover it with rice and press it down. Cover the pan on low heat and let the egg and rice get to know each other.
Then uncover and mix it up. Garnish with more green onions. dribble with more shoyu and/or oyster sauce for more flavor. I try not to add too much shoyu and oyster sauce in the mix to keep the salt level down. Gotta watch my blood pressure.

You have to remember that fried rice is a traditional way to take leftover stuff and make it into something wonderful that your family will enjoy. So ingredients will change depending on what is left in the fridge. Technique needs to be flexible to account for different types of ingredients. Some ingredients I have used in the past:
Kentucky fried chicken
Popeyes fried chicken
Costco rotis. chicken
 frozen mixed veg.
teri beef
kalua pig
hot dog
portugese sausage
bratwurst
spam
bologna
turkey
bacon
bbq ribs
...use just about anything...waste nothing. See what is left in your fridge, and good luck to you.

Nephew caught a nice kumu on Sunday. I steamed it chinese style with green onion, ginger, chinese parsley, shoyu, peanut oil, salt.
Tough to beat fresh local fish.

Awesome, thanks. My dad used to make the best fried rice when i was little, I'm a pretty good cook but mine never comes out as good as his. I'll try your method.

I hope you are not allergic to shrimp sauce aka "harm ha". That seems to be the magic ingredient that gave my Mom's fried rice that special taste.
For the uninitiated, this is the stuff that makes giant blue-eyed flies bang up against your window screen. Potent stuff.
