Some members here know that Fiona & I love cooking "properly" when out & about. Fiona's campfire Thai curry has become renowned

We also do a lot of chinese dishes & a while ago I became interested in really doing them properly. I was surprised to find that producing fried rice as good as a restaurant was tricky. After a lot of research I found out how it's done & once you know, it can be put together as fast as a takeaway!

Here's how we do it

I do use a lot of fish sauce in other dishes. I remember being worried about health impacts of MSG and then I learned that it's just seaweed extract & glutamates occur naturally in many foods. It's interesting that no scientific study has shown health issues

That said of course, if you don't like it it's fine to use other tastes.

That must be so inconvenient given it occurs naturally in so many foods from ripe fruits to cured meats. I feel for you

Yep it is a pain but chinese takeaways up here anyway seem to overdo it in some dishes anyway
