Luncheon Pork Fried Rice
Who here loves leftovers? Well, we do.
The best part about leftovers is really the rice, because mum would fry up the most amazing fried rice with luncheon pork. We as a family love this dish so much that we purposefully cook an additional serving each for dinner so that we'd have leftover rice for fried rice the next day. When that happens, I guess you can't really call it leftovers, but whatever it is or should be called, it's simple comfort food. It's the food you think of when you're 10,000 miles away and are missing home. It's the food no one else but your family understands just how good this is. It's the food you love.
