Bojangle's Dirty Rice

I love Bojangle's Dirty Rice. If you order this little cup alone, it wil cost you over $3. Yes, it is expensive but they are really good.

Mexican Fried Rice

What I like about mexican fried rice are the peppers on it. The peppers just bring out the flavor. Anyone wants some?

Popcorn Rice

Ever heard of this rice? This is absolutely good! Can you imagine eating rice with a popcorn smell? You should try this.

Thanks to my MIL who gave this to me and introduce me to this taste!

Asian Style Fried Rice

I ran out of rice.... a tragedy! lol

Seriously, I forgot to buy rice and when I found this box in my counter, I decided to cook it. Well, being a Filipino, this is not the best fried rice. I don't have a choice though as I don't have other rice... this is still rice it just taste different.

For people who is used to eating good fried rice (like filipino fried rice), this product is not a good substitute. But for somebody whose staple food is not rice, then I think this is a good one because it already has chicken and veggies on them. But for me..... I would rather have jasmine rice!

Rice and Gravy

I eat a lot of rice. Being a Filipino, eating rice three times a day is natural. I eat rice on everything. My husband has learned to eat more rice too. He likes to eat his rice with gravy. I prefer mine to be plain.

Sometimes, I make homemade gravy. For the times that I want it easy, this is hubby's favorite gravy...

Shrimp Fried Rice

I always love fried rice. When I was in the Philippines, where I seldom cook because I was "spoiled", my sister always requests for me to cook garlic fried rice because that was what I was good at! I don't want to sound conceited but I can make a good fried rice.

Anyway, I seldom cook fried rice here because I don't have left over rice...lol! The secret to a very good fried rice is making sure that you use a day old left over rice. Freshly cooked rice will make the fried rice mushy.

Ingredients:
left over rice
shrimp
garlic
pepper
green onion (minced)
salt
soysauce or fish sauce
carrots
peas
oil

Directions:

• Heat oil in the wok and cook shrimp. Set aside.
• With the remaining oil cook egg. Set aside and sliced.
• Using a bigger wok, heat oil and saute garlic and green onions. Add rice. Cook until you can hear the rice sizzle.
• Season with soysauce ( I prefer fish sauce). Add carrots and peas. Cook until veggies are halfway done.
• Add shrimps and egg. Mixed well and season with pepper.
• Cook until rice is really hot and serve.

Note: Don't stir the rice too much.
