Small Batch Egg Fried Rice
Alica's Pepperpot

This small batch fried rice is perfect for smaller households. It's great for using up leftover rice or making a flavorful meal by combining same-day cooked rice with scrambled eggs, soy sauce, and a mix of colorful vegetables. In West Indian cooking, dishes like fried rice are typically prepared in large batches. At home, my family would make a big tray that served four or more, with enough leftovers for everyone. Fried rice is perfect for big gatherings because it stretches easily and goes a long way. However, a small batch is often preferable for smaller households but can be difficult to ..read more

Guyanese casareep lamb is a finger-licking dish made with chunks of lamb simmered in casareep, a thick, dark syrup derived from cassava. Small cuts of lamb are sautéed with aromatics, then simmered in casareep. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or served alongside chow mein, fried rice, or sliced bread. This recipe was inspired by my friend Roxanne whom you might remember from my beef curry post. She left a voice message on Whatsapp (because that's how busy moms communicate these days) telling me about this absolutely delicious casareep lamb she had and that I had to share it with my follo ..read more

Fry bora is one of my favorite Guyanese vegetable dishes. It is also known as Chinese long beans, yard beans, or snake beans. It’s delicious with seafood, meat, or all by itself, but I enjoy it best with chicken. My mother probably laughs every time I tell her I’m making fry bora for dinner. I couldn’t stand it in my younger days! I just didn’t like the taste of it and now as an adult it’s become a staple in my weekly diet. My kids love it, too. My older son loves to eat it raw. He is fascinated by how long the the beans are and enjoys the crunch with each bite! This is delicious curried or s ..read more
