Whenever I invite friends for brunch or dinner, I always end up having too much food in my fridge. So I always try to be creative in cooking new dishes based on the left-over food. Last time that I hosted a brunch, I got luck with the left-overs. I had a bowl of white rice in the fridge, dried salted mackerel fish (from the Stewed Mung Beans), lettuce (from the lettuce wrap), and chicken thigh fillet. I realized these are ingredients for a famous Chinese Fried Rice! What a delight as I missed this dish. So I've tried the dish with the help of some research from the Internet and came up with my own recipe. It was easy to cook it and I basically ate it for the next 2 days. What's good is I didn't have to cook any meat anymore as I can eat this fried rice as it is. It turned out to be really good and I liked the end result!
