In Stupid Food

Some months ago, I wanted to make egg fried rice but lacked rice. Therefore, I used pastina instead.


I'll admit, it tasted incredible, but taste doesn't really matter here. I'll let reddit decide where this lands on the stupid food spectrum.

    It looks like the feed my mother gives to her birds

    If i were hungry, I’d eat it wothout prejudice

    Hmm. Looks like crushed granola you use for toppings, but the finished meal looks like my dog’s vomit after eating her own vomit.

    Honestly, I’ve seen people online make fried rice with way worse ingredients than pastina. Kinda genius in a way

    I think it looks pretty decent, if you’d have desiccated the pastina, you would have been spot on.

    If i upvote this, is it gonna make me say it’s good or bad?

    As Asian who grow up with fried rice,

    You may do better by relaxing the soya sauce. Otherwise, pastina should be a great texture for fried rice.

    Just throw some toppings here and there and it’s 5-star..

    Why does it look so diffeeent in the second picture

    That looks really tasty, but why are there no vegetables in it? Some peas or some edamame would be a nice addition

    visually it looks fine to me, it looks like the fried rice we have over here, where it comes in variety of color. only lacking some greens.

    As a Chinese person I don’t find it stupid.

    Fried rice often was the result of wanting to utilise leftovers and not waste food.

    So if pastina is all that you had at home I have no issue with this.

    If it tastes great then that is all that matters.

    Sometimes you gotta work with what you got. It’s only stupid if it was intentional and planned

    Now this has me curious…what would egg fried rice be like with arborio rice or with couscous instead of traditional rice.

    that looks like a compost bin after a month outside
