Hi all of you, welcome back to Ichi's Fusion Recipes! Well, today I am going to share the benefits of making multipurpose homemade fresh seasoning. First, saving your time in the kitchen, quick-cooking, on top of that we can create any kind of dishes! Like this one, using it to cook fried rice. 

Everyone in my hometown knew about this dish. Villagers would cook it for breakfast or dinner. Really, breakfast with fried rice? It sounds heavy to start the day, however, rice is an essential food. Including me, sometimes I ate fried rice before went to school. But, I was different from other because I just focused to eat boiled egg in the morning, and not the rice; as far as I remember I just took 2 spoons rice. I could not take a heavy breakfast back then.

Generally, villagers made simply fried rice which meant the ingredients were seasoning like shallot, garlic, salt, MSG (villagers loved MSG), chili, and sweet dark soy sauce. Basically, they cooked it without vegetables, only fried egg if they could buy the egg. How to eat this plain fried rice? Usually, villagers bought crackers because it was cheaper than any other foods. A lot of crackers that made from the home small business in my hometown. So, yes, besides being farmers, some of them were small business owners by selling banana chips, cassava chips, sweet potato chips, flour crackers, et cetera.

Talking about my fried rice recipe in this article, I would say it a little different because I added lots of vegetables. I love vegetables, so I want to create fried rice that not only rice but I want to create freshness from vegetables along with anchovies and multipurpose homemade fresh seasoning. Here in Singapore, we could easily find a stall that sells fried rice with anchovies, but, I am proud to say my fried rice rich in flavor because I season it with multipurpose homemade fresh seasoning that based on my knowledge from my hometown and my style. Moreover, you can not find fried rice that full of vegetables! 😉

Speaking of which, are we talking about recipe or storytelling? Alright, then, let's rock!
