I was thinking about it. If you take the peas and carrots out what are you left with? Just...rice. Booooring! In addition to being delicious, peas and carrots add color. But I still respect you liking what you like.
@midnightrose though i dont like broccoli either ( but not seperately in other dish ) if if put in my fried rice im still fine with it no unplatable like mixing with peas and carrot.By the way enjoy your meal,the sauced meat on side looks yummy 🤤
Carrots chopped very finely I'll accept but there also must be char siu and spring onion and either shrimp or chicken or beef. Pork is great but it's already covered with the charsiu. Green peas 🙅
@NativePortlander1970 I realize this is subjective, but I just don't like the taste and feel like they t interfere with my enjoyment of the rest of the ingredients.
This may also be due to lingering PTSD from my mother having served me mushy canned peas and carrots as a child. Maybe we can compromise and I'll eat an uncooked carrot on the side on a separate plate.
@NativePortlander1970 is pathetic some so called a "serious home gourmet" had no ideas how some ingredient taste really dont blend well with other,like pouring salad oil into coffee.I do love fried rice in chinese restaurant with decent chef who know how to cook and knew food combination well and not stubborn chef who pour corn,peas,carrot base on their own preference not customer.
Agreed. Fried rice should contain tiny bits of meat, onions, bean sprouts, and not much else. I can see a creative chef adding more veggies, but peas and carrots? Never. Ruins it.
@UsernameAlreadyInUse As a serious home gourmet I do not see cooking as a joke, carrots and peas are common in fried rice as they are aromatics that nicely adds flavor to it.
@NativePortlander1970 as home gourmet dont you have better sense of what ingredient should mix within a dish and that carrot and peas have really wierd taste and texture contrast on fried rice savoury?
