Fried rice is a classic Chinese comfort food which is also a very popular Filipino household dish. Fried rice is normally prepared from leftover steamed rice and many other ingredients (some may be are leftovers too) that are stir-fried in a wok. Through the years, variety of other ingredients have been added to this cuisine to suit culture, necessity and even our mood.
Here's one fried rice recipe that's worth a try which I found from one of the free recipe booklets that came with my mother's grocery. Well, I tried and you can see the result. Mmm!

| Fried Rice recipe with a twist! |
For the achuete oil:
2 tbsp achuete seeds
5 tbsp cooking oil
For sautéing¹:
4 tbsp achuete oil (prepared earlier)
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 tbsp carrots, finely chopped
1/2 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can corned beef (I suggest Purefoods corned beef, they have that distinct taste and texture that's so good)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 can Hunt's Pork & Beans (you may want to drain the excess sauce if you prefer)
4 cups cooked riced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions:
This recipe makes 4 to 5 servings.
NOTE: I stained my braces with this recipe. The pink rubber turned almost red -- so be careful with using too much achuete seeds. Brush your teeth right after eating too, haha!
Until my next wandering!

Cooking terms clarified:
¹ Sautéing is a method of cooking food that uses a small amount of fat in
a shallow pan over relatively high heat. Ingredients are usually cut
into pieces or thinly sliced to facilitate fast cooking. Food that is sautéed is browned while preserving
its texture, moisture and flavor. (From Wikipedia)
² To steep is to allow dry ingredients, such as coffee, tea, or spices, to soak in a
liquid until the liquid takes on the flavor (or even the color) of the dry ingredient. (From About.com)
The story is actually not true ... and it kind of had a deeper meaning to it, lol. You probably don't follow the news in the United States as closely, so you might not have caught some of the references.
ReplyDeleteThe basic idea behind the story was that I sometimes get bored when I have to write articles for services like Blogvertise, Social Sparks, and PayPerPost. While I appreciate the small amounts of money that I make from writing for these places (something like 100$ per month or so on average), I artistically have difficulties with writing pandering article after pandering article. :(
It was good to hear from you again. I need to get a gig like that guy on the BBC show "An Idiot Abroad" so that I can come see the Philippines and a few other places. I would want to stay in better hotels than he does though, lol.
One of these days, I will try your recipe. Good article.

ReplyDeleteHey, Myke!
ReplyDeleteOne interesting thing about rice is that food is probably "universal" ... Everybody knows rice ... Everyone eats rice!
In oriental countries, rice is almost sacred!

A hug!
