Local Style Fried Rice

One of the best things about growing up in Hawaii is the variety of food. One of my favorites is fried rice, and there are so many variations of it. It is probably one of the best dishes to experiment with. Living on the east coast, I don't have access to some of my favorite meats for fried rice (Portuguese sausage, char siu pork, etc.) so it is hard to make exactly the flavor of fried rice I want.

Spätzle (Spaetzle)

Before we get too far into this, you might be wondering, "What is spaetzle ?".

I also mentioned that my husband's paternal grandmother (Luise Kathrein Sparrow) came from the Tyrol area of Austria. Spaetzle is another one of the dishes she made often for her family. She topped it with butter and cheese and so that is how my husband makes it. However, I have seen other toppings such as crumbled bacon, onions, parsley, etc. I love it when my husband makes this dish because (1) I get to sit back and do nothing in the kitchen for a change, and (2) He begins talking about his grandmother. When we make our family recipes, it brings back fond memories of the ones who used to make...
