Opium rice


Poppy seed rice with fried eggs, green onion and hella garlic
This might look like bland peasant food you'd find in rural China, but trust me, it packs a lot of flavor and makes a satisfying light dinner. Sorry, I'm not too keen on exact measurements. They're arbitrary and preferential.

rice
garlic
2 eggs
green onion
poppy seeds
lemon
olive oil
salt and pep

~cook rice with lightly salted water and a couple table spoons of poppy seeds, chop a bunch of garlic cloves into fatty chunks, on low-med heat fry garlic in olive oil until the kitchen smells awesome then fry eggs + salt&pep, for green onion garnish chop green onion and soak in mix of olive oil, lemon juice and salt, enjoy with chopsticks and a glass of tap water or cheap beer~

~can add/sub eggs for fried tofu, don't corrupt the garlic flavor with overzealous soy sauce additions~

  2. Yum! This looks familiar. I'll have to try it with the poppy seeds :)
