Pak Choi Fried Rice Christmas Tree

Last time when I made Hong Zhao/Red Yeast Paste Fried Rice I came up with an idea…since I am doing mostly Asian cooking here, how about making Asian cuisine look Christmassy even it’s not traditional Christmas food? Then here it is, Pak Choi Fried Rice Christmas Tree. Okay this tree may be short as it was not supposed to be like this but I think the colour looks festive to match Christmas vibe, don’t you think?

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:

-3 to 4 pieces thinly sliced smoked streaky bacons.

-1 bunch of Pak Choi, finely chopped.

-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.

-1 bowl of rice, cooked.

-1 pinch of salt to taste.

-Seaweed and white sesame to season. (Optional.)

 

𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝:

-Heat a pan over medium low heat, place thinly sliced bacon in a single layer, flip over when golden crispy brown, then set a side.

-Use the same pan, wipe some oil up with kitchen paper towel, add chopped garlic and Pak Choi to stir fry over medium heat until soften.

-Add cooked rice to mix evenly, add salt to taste.

-Transfer Pak Choi fried rice into a plate, use a serving spoon to shape it like a tree.

-Break up crispy bacon and sprinkle on top, season with seaweed and white sesame.

 

 

之前做紅糟炒飯時意外發現炒飯配色滿有聖誕節慶感的，那時就有在突發奇想說也許可以做成小飯糰，然後疊成聖誕樹的樣子，應該也可以很應景？不過紅糟醬用完了，後來是想到用青江菜炒飯替代，然後小飯糰也懶得捏，最後是直接用飯匙立出聖誕樹的造型(不准說它是金字塔，Kings Cross有個聖誕樹裝置造型也是這樣的)，配菜則是毛豆，紅紅綠綠的，說是聖誕餐應該也不至於太突兀吧。
