Pork Fried Rice

Fried Rice is one of my favorite things to cook whenever I have leftover rice. You can add just about anything in the pantry to it, and it works. I found some sliced pork at the local market, and since I had everything else, decided to whip up some PORK FRIED RICE with some Asparagus I had on hand. Asparagus is not a very common ingredient in Fried Rice, but again, it's the kind of platform you can use to use up any produce that's going to expire.


INGREDIENTS:
Leftover Rice
Sliced Pork
Soy Sauce
Asparagus
1 Egg
Vegetable Oil
Frozen Peas and Carrots


Gnocchi

So, it's not exactly (or in any way) related to Asian cuisine, much less sushi, but I made Gnocchi from scratch for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it was so easy I thought I'd share... Plus, one of the great things about making gnocchi from scratch is that you can freeze the gnocchi in batches so you can have a quick easy meal whenever you feel like it!

INGREDIENTS:
2 large russet potatoes
1-2 cups of flour
1 egg
Butter for cooking
Fresh herbs like sage
Grated parmesan cheese
