I don\u2019t usually get spareribs, but they looked tempting hanging in the window and I already had a metric ton of char siu in the freezer so I succumbed; I enjoyed a plateful and froze the rest with no specific future application in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Shelter-in-place solitary home cooking becoming routine these days and not eager to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I decided that I\u2019d shave off the ribs\u2019 meat and use it for fried rice since I already had some plain white rice left over from previous culinary hijinks and I had all the other ingredients on hand. If this isn\u2019t comfort food, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TOYH1694-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSome of the spare ribs from Day One.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nStay safe, be well, and eat whatever it takes. \u2764\ufe0f<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooking in the Time of COVID \u2013 Fried Rice.
