#crispy fried okra

[buffetlicious]

Let’s say if you were invited to join me for dinner. Which one of these two packs of Economy Rice (菜饭) would you choose? Is it this box with lady's fingers stir-fry (okra), sliced pork and sweet & sour pork or the pack with sweet glazed hotdog & fries, crispy ikan bilis & peanuts and sweet & sour pork chop?

[brawlite]

[chronotopes]

cooking ideas for next week -

black pepper tofu and broccoli again (yummy the first time so why not go for take two – OR buy eggplant on saturday and make the og recipe with eggplant like one is supposed to, technically)

hot honey chicken with crispy okra and a second secret side (corn- or potato-based presumably)

gnocchi but pan fried + slightly caramelized with other vegetables there also rather than cooked in a sauce

tuna salad with crispy rice again (that shit went hard)
