Tips
- In our everyday cooking, we always want the freshest ingredients. When I make my fried rice I always think of what leftover I can use and still make a bowl of delicious fried rice.
- Use rotisserie chicken that’s not heavily seasoned.
- When using shrimps, peel, and devein but leave the tail on to retain the nice shape of your shrimps.
- Always use day-old rice. I find white rice is the best rice to use.
- If you’re not a big fan of soy sauce, just add regular salt.
- I always use a lot of fresh garlic versus garlic powder.
- Add green onions and sesame oil at the end of your cooking to get the most flavor.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Jen, a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. Surely, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. It’s important to realize that when you cook better you eat better.
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can naturally enhance our food’s flavor and enjoy home-cooked meals.
