FRIED RICE | ALTERNATIVE VEGAN RECIPE INCLUDED | JULY MENU


WIKI NOTE: Fried rice is a popular street food in Asia. In some Asian countries, there are some small restaurants, street vendors and travelling hawkers that specialise in serving fried rice.
As a homemade dish, fried rice is typically made with leftover ingredients (including vegetables and/or meat) from other dishes, leading to countless variations, being an economic hodgepodge like it is done with fried noodles or pyttipanna.
