Don't have time to leave the rice overnight? You forgot to make the rice the night before but you crave fried rice, which might just be your last straw?
Instead of lukewarm water, use your Brita water from the fridge, it'll make your cooked rice a bit less. I'd say soft and perfect for frying rice. OR! Add just ever so slightly LESS water than your normal water level, the rice will be cooked still but more separated so you get the perfect fried rice texture. Another pro tip for fried rice I learned from my chef uncle is, to mix your rice with some sesame oil after taking it out from your fridge. before adding to your wok/pan, it'll coat the rice with oil and loosen it too!

🪴You SHOULD be rinsing your rice before you cook it.
But if you aren’t today is the PERFECT day to start.
Rinse your rice in cold water to get the starch off it, agitate the rice. save that milky colored water in a large container. Keep rinsing the rice until it’s clear.
Cook your rice and eat it.
Let the rice water sit overnight so that the hard minerals evaporate.
You can dilute the rice water with more reg water to dilute it (like if you have HELLA plants like I do) but stir it up bc it might settle.
(You can either add filtered water OR you can add more water before you let the hard minerals evaporate)
Now you have a natural and free fertilizer for your plants. Use it all in one day tho.
Repeat once a month, every other month or when your plant babies need some extra love especially during the winter months.

You can use literally any leftover ingredients you’re trying to clear from your fridge: peking duck and red cabbage, birria consomé and lime, thai beef and cilantro, chicken adobo and that spare carrot in the bottom drawer, chicharrones and the last scallion.

😃Do I find myself being a reply guy sometimes? Yes.
Does it brings me joy whenever my friends or someone unexpected replied to my stories? Yes.
Would you still reply to their stuff if you genuinely don’t give a shit and they uninterest you but not to the level you mute their content? No.
So why not? We talk down ourselves so often let me lift you up , one “hell yeah” “LFG” at a time

There’s something special and beautiful about documenting the moment your friends shine the most. When they’re pouring their heart and soul making something a reality for them and you’re there to capture every moment around them.
