HoB Cooking with Ansy - Crunchy Fried Rice

Aw dammit! Benishoga would’ve be so good with this! Anyways. XD

I’m of the opinion that every adult should know how to make at least like…5 things for themselves (doesn’t have to be fancy or all from scratch - a humble sandwich absolutely counts 🩵), & one of these essential dishes I think we should all learn is fried rice: simple, easy, & makes good use of our leftover ingredients. ^_^

I’m not sure how Link’s fried rice is “crunchy” though - I wonder if he likes it a little on the burnt side, or just uses more oil? Otherwise, it looks like a simple chahan or yakimeshi (standard Japanese fried rice), & that’s what this is, using up some of my leftovers.

There’s all kinds of different fried rice out there - my favorite is kimchi bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice) with an egg &/or cheese on top. ^p^ Then there’s tomato fried rice topped with a omelette (aka omurice), pineapple fried rice, veggie or seafood fried rice, etc. The possibilities are just about endless! >u<

What’s your go-to for fried rice? 🍚🍳

ideas for reducing my waste in 2025

using what I have!

reusable bags, reusable produce bags, using plastic free packaging when possible, reusing items for art or in my home, being selective when purchasing new items (will I actually use it?), eco bricking!, and composting.

actually abt to throw something. i sprained my ankle and it hurts to go downhill and my roommate wants me to "take out my garbage"

when 90% of it is her and her friend drinking exclusively bottled water and pizza. and somehow that's "mine." i haven't used either the recycling or the garbage bin in WEEKS and yet somehow this is mine.

Here is another “use it, dont waste it” recipe. I really like Danish rye bread, and whole wheat bread of all kinds, but the problem is that it gets stale very quickly. So if you find yourself a leftover loaf hard like a brick, don’t toss it. Give it a good soak in water, leave it there for two hours (at least, better: overnight). Crumble it. Now you can go crazy with any leftover veggies and condiments you have at hand. For this one, I used some beans, chopped onions, mustard, and smoky bbq sauce. I like smoky flavours with this, so I also got some smoked hot paprika. But use whatever you like, I have made this with rosemary, garlic, courgette, and diced carrots, and it was great. I have made this with curry from a ramen package, chickpeas, and spring onions, and it was great. Mix it all up and add some flour to get a sticky texture. Fry it in a pan with some vegetable oil.

No, it’s not like meat, it is not meant to be a “I can’t believe it’s vegan” option, it is an option to save some money and be less wasteful with food. And it is tasty, you can give it the shape of burger patties, steak-like thingies for sandwiches, smaller bites to use them like meatballs in a pasta sauce, whatever you like.

My latest version was a burger with some homemade white onion chutney, pickled gherkins, avocado slices, and tomato ketchup. Everyone loved it, so I thought I should share this idea.

I had to repair my jeans recently... I’m quite proud of how it looks. Sure, you can see it’s DYI, but I kinda wanted it to look that way :)

PS. The colors are yellowish because of the light... my flat is rather dark, unfortunately
