All About Rice

Now that breakfast is a regular happening in our house these days, I have to come up with breakfast meals which I'm not really good at. A Filipino breakfast would be my ideal breakfast, it's all about the rice. There are days when I would prefer a toast or a pancake but rice would be much better. Breakfast should be heavy right? So that makes rice the perfect choice :D
 

Since my hubby doesn't like leftover rice, I save it on a container and stock them up inside the refrigerator for making fried rice in the morning. I find the cooled leftover rice perfect for fried rice since they get harder when cooled and kind of separate into little grains as you cook them rather than the sticky rice from the rice cooker.

Fried rice can be cooked and flavored in so many ways. Garlic fried rice remains my second favorite, first would be fried rice cooked  in Adobo oil/sauce. My hubby prefers the Yang Chow fried rice but honestly, I don't want to put too much effort on fried rice unless we have a lot of leftovers that I can incorporate. But I guess I've done that on several occasions wherein I put several elements on the rice and that itself was our whole meal.

I would normally cook scrambled egg and put them on fried rice. I thought that was the only way to use egg on fried rice not knowing that you can actually cook the egg as you cook the rice. My husband saw his uncle do fried rice this way so we tried it and got good results. The fried rice has that egg flavor and yellowish in color and this makes it easier rather than cooking the eggs first, slicing them up before putting them back again.

Anything that would make my life simpler, I'm willing to try and if I'm too lazy to whip up a super simple fried rice? There's always my BFF rice cooker to save any meal with warm, white rice :D
