kai fan!

Rachel and I made 'kai fan' from scratch last Sunday night!!!

Pouring the chicken stock into the pot of stir fried raw rice....

Albert's 'seared' chicken...

After watching countless episodes of 'Chopped,' Albert refused to steam any kind of meat, unfairly categorizing them as bland and tasteless. We were going to steam them using Rachel's new industrial steamer (honestly, just an excuse to use it again!) but we were hungry and couldn't care less so Albert happily burned/caramelized the chicken skin....

RICE WAS YELLOW, FRAGRANT AND AWESOME.

I totally think it was way better than the store bought hainanese chicken rice paste! ^^

Although rice was not pillowy soft.. it had some sort of chewiness to it....IGNORE.. IGNORE...

IGNORE LACK OF VEGETABLES.
We had iceberg lettuce on the side.
(not that it helped on any nutritional value lol....)

I adore cooking. I can't wait to get off the meal plan!!
