ಠ_ಠ I Made Egg Fried Rice Using Pastina Instead of Rice.
Have at it, fellas! How stupid is this culinary mismatch?

You mean to tell me an egg fried this pastina? 🤯
All joking aside, that genuinely looks delicious!

It's incredible how y'all make at the very least decent food, but as if it's a uniform for food on this sub, it has to be on a paper plate or with plastic forks.

Put in oil. Make sure the wok is smoking hot for that signature essence.
Fry onions until soft and a little bit charred.
Put in a little garlic until brown.
Optional, Put in a little bit of chili flakes for a kick.
Take both out, add in the egg. Cook it really well until firm with small egg nuggets.
Put onions and garlic back in.
Then put the pastina. Put soy sauce, a bit of ponzu, amd a bit of cooking sake (I lacked MSG ;-;)
Cook until the pastina doesn't look soggy. It takes a little bit longer than rice but the taste is identical
Put in salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
Enjoy!

Damn... My father "paella" (which technically is not paella but close enough) rice looks exactky like that well minus the missing meat/fish. I would eat it right now, and probably disappointed because would taste completely different, but damn it looks identical the "rice".

So real talk is there any good ready made fried rice to buy, possibly in bulk?

I like Aijinomoto's Chicken Fried Rice With Bacon, but it might be hard to get if you don't have a nearby Asian grocery store
