Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Faces in Things You See and Spam fried rice

Welcome to the New Year! 

 Rain's Thursday Art Date and Dinner Date's theme is 'Faces in Things You See'.  I thought of a flower face, a pansy in this case.

For the Dinner Date:





I made some spam fried rice in my new'ish wok.  It had a delicious saltiness.  I used a low sodium can of spam.  

2 cups of leftover scented rice

2 eggs

half a can of low sodium spam chopped

1 tbs dark soy sauce

1 tbs light soy sauce

2 green onions diced

a stalk of celery diced

canola oil as required


Mix soy sauces into the rice

saute eggs with a bit of salt and pepper in a tablespoon of canola oil, set aside

saute spam pieces , set aside

saute celery, add garlic in a bit more oil

add rice and more canola oil and stir until the rice is warmed up. Mix in green onions, eggs and spam for a few more minutes.  

Enjoy!

Your pansy art is very pretty! I liked the look of your stir fry also. I know it’s not good for us, but I do like the saltiness of spam.

I see a gnome in the middle of your pansy ... crazy what our mind does with what it sees. You have some good Asian dishes to share with us. I have my very own built in Asian cooks (my DIL and my Granddaughter), only thing is the SPICE! Yikes, I thought I knew what hot food was ... not so much. They will, kindly, eliminate some of the spice on my plate so I can eat without tears running down my face 😂 Happy New year to you Christine :)
