Fried RiceFried rice is a dish primarily made with rice, combined with ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, meat, or seafood, and stir-fried in a hot wok using cold oil or hot oil. Typically, the rice is first fluffed, then the ingredients are added one by one and stir-fried evenly, followed by seasoning.
Grilled CornGrilled corn is a simple and delicious snack, with fresh corn as the main ingredient. The method involves slow-roasting the corn over charcoal until the kernels turn golden and slightly charred. A thin layer of cooking oil can be brushed on during the process to enhance texture and flavor.
