Friday, August 2,2013 CommunityGrows staff Adrian Gaino, assisted by volunteer Akiko Fujii and Jah’Torri Bettis of the African American Arts and Culture Center (AAACC) lead a group of enthusiastic students through the making of one of our favorite recipes: fried rice. So easy and delicious. The BEETS (Band of Environmentally Educated and Employable Teens) helped out in the kitchen after vegetables were chopped.
Everyone got to decorate and take home a recipe book of all the recipes that they prepared this summer.
Here is the simply delicious recipe for your culinary enjoyment!
