dinner -> white rice with corn (500?)
we also went to a new grocery store that opened and has complimentary baby cucumbers! (20?).
total -> 520?
I feel like a lot of asian and hispanic cuisine overlaps just because we each have staple recipes for things like chicken, rice, and seafood; staple ingredients for each culture. When I say stir-fried, people think of east asia which is why I usually say "guiso". Same goes with the name "white rice". Most east asian stir fried white rices I've had use the same grain as us (jasmine) but have a milder taste when first cooked so seasonings can be added when stir fried. In the rice my mom makes, the rice is first stir fried until "toasted" and then cooked in a broth made of blended vegetables/seasonings. Different and both valid ways of cooking rice, but I can't just say "white rice" since it gives people (ESPECIALLY american people) the wrong idea though I haven't really found a way to say it that's true to the name but also differentiates the cultures..."arroz blanco"?"mexican white rice"?
#idk it just bugs me when people mix up my household culture with the east especially now that east asian cultures are “trending”#i probably think about it too much but man did it piss me off when i brought a chocoflan to school once#and one of the lunch monitors said: oh is that japanese pudding :0? it looks good :)#no! its flan! there are gastronomical differences!#same with sweet breads in mexico vs in japan#or some of the asado-like dishes from SEA#ceviche is not fucking sushi!
