Notes
This simple mixed rice is full of southern Chinese home-cooking charm: each grain is coated in melted lard, with the savory note of soy sauce and the freshness of scallions. It's a comforting go-to for many kids with a poor appetite. It mainly provides quick carbohydrate and fat energy, but it's high in cholesterol, so don't eat it too often. There's no skill required at all; even if you can't cook, with freshly cooked rice you can mix up a fragrant bowl in a few minutes.
