Garlic Fried Rice

Garlic Fried Rice

Yesterday, I headed for my friend's to scrounge free meals at noon, for the reason that my home was particularly far away from the driving school.  She is a girl who is hospitable，beautiful, kind-hearted and hardworking. Being the eldest one in her family, she is skillful in cooking. As soon as the garlic fried rice was prepared,it gave off a charming smell. I was so hungry that I couldn't help eating like a wolf,swallowing fast without chewing. A big bowl of garlic fried rice was soon eaten up within a few seconds.

After lunch, I suggested her contemplate opening her own restaurant in town, especially around factories or the schools,as her garlic fried rice was extremely delicious. She couldn't agree more with me. She also thought it was a good idea. Furthermore, I asked her what ingredients she added to make such a palatable lunch. Then she unreservedly told me the ingredients and how to make this meal.

Ingredients:eggs, carrots, beans, corn, onions, rolls, oil, salt, curry powder

If you are interested in how to cook this meal, please contact me.

As for me, the garlic fried rice not only satisfies my hunger,but also strengthens the friendship between us.Thanks for her kindly treating.

参考译文:

因为我家离驾校很远，所以昨天中午就去朋友家蹭饭。她是一个热情好客、美丽善良、勤奋工作的女孩。作为家中的长女，她拥有一手好厨艺。当咖喱饭做好了之后，它散发出诱人的香味。我是如此的饥饿以至于狼吞吐咽，未经咀嚼就直接吞下去了。一大碗咖喱饭，很快就被我吃完了。

午饭后，我建议她考虑在镇上开一间餐馆，特别是工厂或者学校附近，因为她的咖喱饭实在太好吃了。她同意我的看法，认为这是个不错的主意。接着我还问了她用哪些材料制作出这么美味的咖喱饭。她毫无保留地告诉我。

咖喱炒饭原料：鸡蛋，胡萝卜，长豆，玉米，洋葱，肉卷，油，盐，咖喱粉。

如果你对如何做这咖喱饭感兴趣，请跟我联系吧！

对于我来说，这顿咖喱饭不仅可以填饱肚子，还可以增进彼此间的友情。谢谢她的友好招待!
