Whenever my gran brought a tray of these delicious pumpkin fritters out after lunch, I jumped up and down like only a little girl in love with her gran’s cooking can. I was obsessed with the light and fluffy fritters covered in sticky, gooey sauce. And now, years later, I feel no different.

Did you steam the corns with its leaves? My son loves to eat corn too!
I normally cook it in the hot water for time saving,fast!
I found the corn is more expensive nowadays if compared to those old days. It costs RM1.50 or even more per piece. I don’t really understand what is the reason behind.
Thus, I not buy very often, just wait when there is some offer, like 5 for RM5. The cheapest I have ever gotten was RM0.50 per piece at the wholesale wet market.
However, it could make me scared on if it contains too much chemical residuals or not. Thus, I did not purchase too many.
The corns from Cameron Highland are very nice to eat, very sweet and have two colours, white and yellow, it could be DNA modified type.
After steaming, apply some butter and salt on the top would make the corn taste even better and sweet, I think. However, I not do in this way very often as I am the lazy type mummy, again. Haha!

The fried rice looks nice! My son loves to have fried rice too. I love to fry the overnight rice in order to kill it. Hehe!
My son looked at your picture in front of the laptop just now, he mentioned he doesn’t like the green peas, as usual.
Thus, I not really buy those chopped veges, like carrots, corns and green peas from the supermarket.
I chop the fresh one for instead, and just put anything I can find from the freeze. That’s all.
And, off course, eggs are always the most convenient ingredient can be found at home.
I remembered that my brother and me loves to fry rice by own after school if found the dishes not in our favour, and egg is the only ingredient. However, the fry rice still very delicious. What a sweet memory!
I have fried rice and take some pictures as well, but still have no time to convert it into a blog in the order way like yours.Salute!
This is indeed a great recipe! I think many would like this recipe.
This sounds very yummy – except for the mushrooms. I think I would leave those out! I’m just not a mushroom fan though. I love all types of fried rice. Shrimp fried rice happens to be my favorite because I am a seafood lover. There is a Chinese food place in a very bad part of town which has the most delicious fried rice in the entire city. It’s dangerous to go there but from time to time I can’t resist because the food is so good.
I envy you being able to make your own fried rice! I’m horrible at cooking and always have to buy it out somewhere.
This looks so good! I love fried rice! I have only made a few time, now I have your help! Thanks!
