Seafood Fried Rice

A typical home cooked Chinese meal.

Fried rice with fish, shrimp, yo chai (a type of tender mustard green), dried shrimp, and plenty of white pepper. We also had seaweed egg flower soup, which is just chicken stock with seaweed and an egg stirred in toward the end.

Simple meals are how I empty out the fridge while simultaneously making time for other, more complicated kitchen projects (cue mysterious music...).

I actually ate my dessert mid-afternoon, but vanilla ice cream with melted peppermint ganache always hits the spot. The ganache is just 70% dark chocolate, whipping cream, and a few drops of peppermint oil. After the chocolate solidified and I mashed it around, it tasted just like mint and chip ice cream.

PS. Don't bother with Ben and Jerry's vanilla ice cream. Hagen Daaz is better, and Staus is WAY better.
