The rice was cooked in turkey stock I made from a free turkey.
I didn’t have any teriyaki sauce so I made some. It’s not as cost effective as buying it. It costs about three dollars to make 2/3 of a cup. But I can make it with stuff I already keep on hand and know that it’s not made with cheap stuff or end up throwing away most of a bottle in the future.
Cost per person: $2 plus $1.25 for the dollar store egg roll.
Eh, in my opinion, it takes a lot to actually fuck up fried rice. There’s really no “standard” way to do it. Just saute garlic and onions in oil/butter, throw in whatever veggies you have, then mash leftover (cold) rice and throw it in the pan. Add some soy sauce and that should be good enough at the minimum. Add an egg and sesame oil if you want to be fancy.
