For our very last shoot, we headed over to Lotus Restaurant, where I discovered that I am really not very good at the cooking technique pictured above (I believe it’s called teppanyaki style…the showy, flippy thing they do at Benihana’s). I basically pushed some vegetables around, and then gave up and handed it over to the master. I did, however, learn a totally simple recipe for vegetable fried rice.
LOTUS VEGETABLE FRIED RICE
1. Finely dice some carrots, zucchini, and onion, add a beaten egg, and stir-fry in a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil until the vegetables are tender and the egg is cooked.
2. Add steamed rice and a bit of soy sauce; stir fry an additional couple of minutes.
