Fried Rice!



I made some delicious and (somewhat) healthy fried rice last night without soy sauce.

2.5 cups of cold brown rice
3 strips of bacon
2 eggs (beaten)
half a cup of scallions
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of chopped ginger
1 cup of edamame
1 chopped red pepper
3 cups of chopped bok choy
6 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
Salt to taste

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok on medium-high heat. Add bacon and red pepper. As bacon starts to crisp, add garlic, ginger and scallions.
After a few minutes add in the edamame. Then add rice, bok choy and 3 more tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir constantly. After about 5 minutes add in the eggs and stir rapidly. Salt as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Lemon Roast Chicken

(Serves 4)

Chicken on the bone (whatever your preference, I bought a few big drumsticks, thighs and breasts. Easier than cooking an entire chicken)
1 Lemon
Salt
Pepper
A few stems of Rosemary
Olive Oil

Place raw chicken in a baking dish and coat with juice of 1 lemon. Place squeezed lemon in dish on either side. Add a few spoonfuls of olive oil on top of chicken. Salt and pepper the chicken and add rosemary leaves.
Cover with tin foil in fridge for 2 hours. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, then at 400 for 50 minutes.

First Post... I'll start very simple

Favorite Breakfast... super easy

This breakfast is super easy and only requires a little thought in the grocery store the day before.

Pancetta Eggs (serves 2)

5 slices (thin) of Pancetta
4 eggs
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Shredded Cheese if desired

Crack and beat eggs. Heat up frying pan, and then add a light coating of olive oil. When the oil starts to bubble a little, add pancetta cut into small squares. Stir occasionally. When the pancetta is starting to brown, add eggs and stir. Add a little black pepper to peak the flavor. If you are a cheese lover like me, add a quarter cup of your favorite shredded cheese. Plate when your eggs are no longer runny.
