Bố’s Fried Rice
My parents divorced when I was around 6 or 7 so my sister and I used to visit my dad at his house every so often. The only thing I remember him actually cooking for me during those years was this fried rice, but it was delicious. Always heavy on the pepper, I think that’s key. Looking back, this was such a bachelor’s meal lol.
