Do you like fried rice?

DangZagnut · 2018-10-10T00:30:12+00:00

I really gotta learn how to cook before college. In this country, the husband has nearly no skill in household stuff because they directly get from pampered by mom to pampered by wife. I don’t think my parents will care much about teaching me cooking because they think me not wanting to marry is just a phase.

LOL, the whole "secret" to "oriental" restaurant style fried rice...

Is that it's made with "leftovers." Basically its yesterday's rice -- from the prior night or prior meal -- meaning not only already cooked, but it's been sitting around for (at least) several hours & thus is not only fully re-hydrated, but is even "dry" & "starchy" again on the surface, which then makes it able to "fry" (be "browned") rather than just "boil/steam" when it's added to a pan with heated oil.

As for the rest of the ingredients... it's pretty random/arbitrary; egg, chopped vege, etc.

Oh, also... learn how to make your own "sweet & sour" sauce (sometimes called "red sauce").

Takes a bit of practice (and of course learning how to make it more sweet or more sour according to how YOU like it), but once you have it down, it's easy-peasy...

It's generally just sugar dissolved in a bit of vinegar, then add a bit of corn starch, some water & soy sauce, maybe a bit of "hot sauce" (if you want it sweet & sour & SPICY); some ketchup or else (optional) a drop or two of red food coloring... and then heat in shallow pan (little saute pan is generally ideal) over burner until it "clears" and starts to thicken a bit (but not too much, as it WILL get thicker as it cools). Again takes a bit of trial/error & practice, but the ingredients are dirt cheap (we're talking a few cents for an amount that in a commercial bottle would probably be $3 or more...plus you can make as much as you want, whenever you want, no worry about "running out"; just keep the basic ingredients on hand; most of which you likely already WILL have on hand for other purposes).

I vote in favor of more cooking posts. I am tired of getting cucked by those $40 takeout prices.

I like to cook. I enjoy the whole process from thinking of what to cook, to buying the ingredients to doing the actual cooking. My mother made sure I knew how to cook because “you’re probably going to marry some woman who doesn’t know how to cook”.

This is honestly such an underrated skill to have. I cant bake a cake to save my life, but I tell you what I can cook anything from Ethiopian curry to Seafood Paella. I love my food, I dont love having to rely on someone else to cook for me. It's so easy to learn as well, stacks of Youtube resources and online recipes.

Save me a plate, bro. Okayyyy?

Rice, chopped peas and carrots, scrambled eggs, two kinds of diced meat

This is the base of fried rice, what gives it the distinct flavour is the third meat, the one which isn't whatever you feel like, and that is the chinese sausages.

The fried rice part is easy, it's knowing how to make pink sauce/yum yum sauce/shrimp sauce that is the challenge.

Use left over cooked refrigerated rice 2-3 eggs mix them with rice green onions salt,soysauce

that's the basics if you want more flavor, you add beef,pork,shrimp,crab, there's endless kinds of mix combinations.

There is really no recipe Chinese can use anything and make it good.

I don't know what this has to do with MGTOW, and frankly I don't care right now. I got the munchies and now I gotta head to Panda Express for fried rice.

TripOverNothing · 2018-10-10T10:19:42+00:00

Is that an option for you to post your own/your favourite recipes once/twice a week?

With fairly easy to find ingredients?

I have my favourite recipes (spring rolls ie.) that I like so much I'd be happy to share them. And there are plenty of things that I'd like to learn how to cook (steak ie. where I live it is not part of culture).

And how many of you guys would be interested in r/mgtow cooking series?

throwawayofthedayhah · 2018-10-10T14:50:49+00:00

MGTOW needs more threads like this. Self-improvement towards independence for men is an amazing thing and it'd be great if we could all show each other the way. I found this thread very inspiring, so thank you!

My favourite fried rice is a dish called Nasi Goreng. It's a meal in itself and fairly easy to make as you can get the spice packets at Asian markets or even at supermarkets these days.

There is no real wrong way to make it either. Just look at a recipe for an idea but add stuff you like to it. I highly recommend getting the red roast pork for it from an Asian restaurant though because it's fucking yum.
