Me:
What is your essential food/item that made it on top of your quarantine list?

Choi:
I've been meaning to go out to the grocery store but kept on putting off.
Need rice and olive oil. I guess olive oil is not a necessity?
but if I don't have it around it's noticeable? haha

Me:
Yes I think Olive Oil is essential!
You are such a great cook. Will you share what you have been making with the olive oil?

Choi:
I use olive oil to stir fry onions and meat when I'm making japanese curry and shrimp pasta.
I actually have been making chicken curry with S&B curry these days. This one is my go to. I even add a bayleaf in there when I'm cooking/ boiling veggies before I add the curry in.

Me:
Bayleaf!
I have never even thought about that. That’s a great tip ;)
Thank you Choi!

I am adding some of Choi’s recipes here.

Project Note:
The idea of “ My friend’s quarantine shopping list” started when I was peeking at people’s shopping baskets during the COVID-19. What are their essentials? Is there a one thing they can’t live without? I was curious about my friend’s shopping baskets. Everyone’s list was unique and I enjoy talking to them about it. I hope this brighten your day and maybe those items will make it to your next shopping list :) Have a nice staying home day!
