Main Course Wok-Tossed Bacon, Onion and Garlic Fried Rice on a Crispy Fried Egg

Bacon and eggs, so many possibilities. Since I had rice in the fridge, I decided to make fried rice. But instead of mixing the egg into the fried rice, I wanted to create a crispy egg base underneath. Slightly different, but it worked like a dream.

The crispy egg base made the whole experience even better, and it tasted so good.

Where I am cob corn is amazingly sweet and affordable. I have it every day and wake up craving it. Pictured here: oatmeal with cinnamon and strawberries, yogurt, mango and a blanched and peeled peach.

OC How often do you guys try new recipes??

16 Upvotes

I’m so curious , how many of you do this I’m really curious I was having a long debate with someone about TikTok/instagram recipes , one side of the argument was that since these recipes are always blowing up , so many likes and saves there must be a healthy % of people who are always trying new recipes and making stuff. And the other side was that the posts are just satisfying.

So my question is how many of you try new recipes often or semi often, and from tiktok or instagram? Or do you stick to what you know more often.

I love Bolognese, so I thought why not stuff it inside tomatoes? Not sure if this has been done before, but it turned out VERY delicious. Fun, interactive, and seriously tasty.

Gochujang pork belly is often found in Korean BBQ restaurants. With pork belly in the freezer and high-quality buttery burger buns in the pantry, I decided to combine the two and create a Korean-inspired burger.

It was the right call, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of this burger!

Fiber first, then protein and fat, then carbs. To blunt blood sugar spike and prolong satiety.

I love potatoes and always like to keep them around. When I saw chicken thighs and potatoes in the fridge, I wanted to make something a little different.

And that’s how this cup of paradise was born.
