Chicken Fried Rice

What to do with left over brown rice from dinner? Make fried rice for lunch!

Chopped left over roast chicken, onion, green peppers, peas, soy sauce, grated ginger, 5 allspice, rice vinegar and rice!

Saute onion, peppers and fresh peas in olive oil, add spices/sauces, add chicken and rice.

Optional: scrambled egg, tofu, shrimp

Hoisin Salmon

So I loved the hoisin ginger sauce (hoisin chicken) so much that tonight I baked it with wild sockeye salmon and chopped eggplant.

It was super yummy :)

I sauteed the eggplant in olive oil and salt and then added it to the salmon and marinade and baked it for about 20 minutes (until just flaking) at 350-375.
