Chef Alex showed me how to make an Asian breakfast dish using rice, eggs, soy sauce and a few other ingredients. I think I will now incorporate rice into my breakfast dish line up! This turned out really yummy.

I have no culinary skills at all, and Alex helped me make delicious meals that I would have been too intimidated to make on my own. Alex not only made the dishes accessible, but he improved my confidence in the kitchen and I had a great time working with him. Thanks Alex!
