Fried Rice: Growing Up With Me
The best fried rice recipe. When I was younger, I cooked this fried rice dish everyday after school. I started learning how to cook when I was in middle school because I thought I could cook better than the food I was eating at school for lunch from the school cafeteria. When we visited my relatives in Asia, I would show off, cooking my dish for my grandparents, relatives, and all their friends.
