Artificial Fried Rice

Artificial? Fried rice? Really?! Yes, I call it artificial based on its seasoning and the taste in my tongue, recently.

After I got married 4 months ago, I lived in a classic lovely house lies in the area called Sundoluhur. Here almost every
people still eat traditional food. No such mayonnaise, salty soy sauce, hot sauce, margarine, etc. So for this 4 months, I only use natural fresh ingredients that taken directly from the nature itself. Even a very simple fried rice that we eat as our breakfast (usually when I have no sufficient time to cook) only use garlic, onion, chilies, and salt. That was our favorite. Until I felt a little bored and want to try another ingredients to produce a brand new flavor to our fried rice.

So, I went to the mini market in the next village, and brought home some fabric seasoning. I browsed some fried rice recipes and tried my own mix. It was only need one trial and the taste turned out nice and light. I like it. But something bothered me. I felt the taste that come to my tongue is a little bit strange, there was a strong and bitter taste. And the voice in my head said "Artificial!". Even so, The taste was worth to enjoy :)
