Here is a recipe for Rich Fried Rice , prepared with the bold spirit and sizzling philosophical flair of Friedrich Nietzsche —a dish that refuses to be merely "good," and instead strives to become what it is : a triumphant, self-overcoming skillet of flavor. Rich Fried Rice: A Nietzschean Recipe for Culinary Self-Overcoming Introduction: Fried rice is too often treated as an afterthought—a way to use leftovers, a footnote to a larger meal.
