Ingredients and cooking methods for stir-fried lentils with rice

Fried lentils with rice is my favorite. My grandma often made it for me when I was a child. Now I rent a house outside and have no time to go home, so I learned to make it myself. Here is the specific method:

Introduction to Stir-Fried Lentils

When I saw the lentils at the vegetable market, I remembered the walls in front of and behind the house in my hometown when I was a child in the summer. They were covered with lentil vines and loofah vines, winding up the walls. Some grew outside the walls and were picked by neighbors or passers-by. I didn’t feel sorry about it because there were too many of them. Vegetables grow very fast in summer and I couldn’t eat them all at once.

I have seen two colors of this kind of lentil, and another kind is purple-red. Whenever I pick such a kind, it seems to be worth a different price. In fact, the color becomes darker after frying, and it is not as good-looking as raw.

There is also a kind of lentil that is a mixture of purple and green. It looks flat like a shell, but it does not taste tender and meaty.

My mother and grandfather call this lentil moth-shaped bean. Since I was a child, I thought that this lentil might look like eyebrows, curved like a girl's beautiful eyebrows, so it is called moth-shaped bean. I don't know if it is true, but I always like to put it on my eyebrows, hoping that I will have a pair of eyebrows when I grow up.

If you don't use hot water, you can extend the frying time and add appropriate amount of water to cook.
