Felt like cooking something different tonight for dinner (and I had no meat defrosted), so I had scrambled eggs, pan fried potatoes, and stir fry vegetables.

For the potatoes, I followed Gordon Ramsay’s recipe. I learned about parboiling. Overall, I think the recipe can be really good. I fried in the cast iron, which was okay. Also, as I predicted, the garlic burned pretty quickly. Next time, I’ll put the garlic in later and have more oil so the skin of the potatoes can get more crispy.

I don’t remember the last time I made a good stir fry, and I had broccoli and carrots at home, so I gave it a try. Worked out pretty well actually. Constant movement over high eat did the trick, although not as quickly as I had initially expected. Adding soy sauce is awesome, by the way, but I put too much this time.

Good to have more options for basic ingredients in my cooking.
