Tonight's Dinner: July 24, 2012

Tonight's dinner was a lot of work and a lot of food.  Being the way I am, I didn't think just Fukien fried rice would be enough so I also made stir fried fish in brown sauce.  One or the other would have been plenty.  We didn't even make a dent in the rice and there is so much sauce left over.  I'm thinking that I can repurpose it into a soup or freeze it.  The execution was easy, but the prep takes forever.  I guess I could have made a more simple fried rice, but I wanted to use all of the veggies that I had in the fridge.  I still have three red bell peppers left to use.  Maybe we'll have stuffed bell peppers soon.  Like most Chinese food, I just kept eating and eating and eating.  I was full, but I loved the sauce over my rice and the fish tasted really good.  Nick said he was full and I just kept shoveling rice and snow peas into my mouth.

Diced carrots, shitake mushroom, bell pepper, and celery.

Fukien fried rice sauce

Yup, there is rice under there.

This fish in brown sauce was so delicious. I
might have to make it again next week.  It was
also a lot easier to prepare than the fried rice
simply because there was much less prep work
to be done.
