Today in class we made fried rice. What went well in our group was that we got our rice finished on time and we were finished prepping our other ingredients by the time it was finished. Something that didn't go so well was that we had a lot of water burns on the side of our pot and stove. Which took away the time from cooking becuase we had to clean. What I would change for next time is that we add more ingredients like green and red peppers. One thing we learned that is crucial to the recipe is to not over stir the rice or it will become mushy.
