Fried Rice with Long Beans

I was craving for some fried rice so I bought a packet of long beans because I love fried rice with long beans. Nope, no cauliflower was harmed in the making of this fried rice. Once in a while I want a full blown fried rice.

I had cooked some extra rice a week before just to finish up the last bit of rice in the packet. The extra rice was kept in the freezer and came in handy when I wanted fried rice.

I also had a packet of marinated pork in the freezer and that was my protein for the fried rice. It's a very easy fried rice, the most "difficult" part was slicing the longs beans. After that, it was just a case of chucking stuff into the wok.

See those sliced chilies? They are those extremely hot red bird's eye chilies which I was unable to tolerate in the past. But of late, I can eat those. Weird, eh?

Anyway, this fried rice was delicious, if I may say so myself. Of course it lacked that wok hei fragrance that one gets when eating fried rice from the hawkers or restaurants. But still, it was good enough for me.
