Sounds good! I used to make a great fried rice is the sad part and always cooked more than I needed just for fried rice the next day or so. To loose your prior knowledge/understanding can miff ya. Then again, the recipe for concrete was lost for 2 thousand years so maybe I should be kinder to myself lol. I love rice and rice based dishes.

No pictures unfortunately, but I recently got a Pit Barrel Cooker for my 50th. Have done ribs, mac and cheese, hamburgers, and chicken drumsticks. All came out great. Will have to try a pork butt soon. ---

Happy 50th. As they say, 40 is the old age of youth, 50 is the youth of old age! We love [Walkerswood Jerk](http://www.walkerswood.com/product_traditional_jerk_seasoning.php) chicken smoked or grilled in a cooker like yours. If you like spice, the hot and spicy is great, I highly recommend trying some. We let ours marinate for 24 to 48 hours depending on how much flavor you want. In 48 it goes to the bone. ---

Redemption! I toasted the rice in the wok with a touch of oil and crisp some up before adding anything else like you did. Worked a treat. I used the bowl mound too. 🙂 I sauteed or grill pan charred/marked everything 1st and warmed back up in the rice after toasting it. Teriyaki marinated chicken pieces, grilled and charred pineapple slices and leeks, then diced. Sauteed onion and orange bell pepper, lightly grilled/charred serrano peppers and baby bok choy. An egg. I added some of the teriyaki marinade and some soy at the end. Came out correctly and taste good. It looks tiny lol but this was at least 6 cups of food. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/3/e/e3e095af920eccede69551a8a643b3496c8c2288.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/3/9/739bf1f758cebf60fff4132b6a4a1fd0846157b8.jpeg) ---

Much better than the mush I made before! I would include my cashew failure, but it didn’t make the dish. I thought I’d be fancy and make some wasabi cashew’s to go in it. I toasted some cashew (raw, unsalted) and then tossed with some butter. Then dosed them with liberal amounts of powdered wasabi. Didn’t even flavor it. Made a paste, that’d melt nose hairs, tossed and just got a bunch of goo and cashews that didn’t have any goo adhere. Maybe next time! ---
