Rosalina's Filipino Fried Rice


A simple but delicious recipe for fried rice, which Rosalina explained to me after I commented on how delicious it was!

You need:
1 Cup Rice
Frozen peas
Bacon/ Chicken/ Prawns
Onion 1, small
Garlic 2 cloves
Carrot (3, grated)
frozen sweet corn
egg To make it:
  1. Cook the rice, frozen peas and sweet corn together in boiling water (for an non-authentic, but fun twist, add a spoonful of turmeric to the cooking water for a great colour)
  2. Fry the bacon, onion, chicken, prawns, fish (all or one of these, or none if you just want a tasty rice accompaniment) in small batches in a wok or large frying pan, setting them aside once done
  3. Grate the carrot
  4. Beat the egg. If you are making rice without meat, add two eggs. If you are using meat, add only one. Add black pepper and a tablespoon of soy sauce and the garlic.
  5. Add some more oil to the pan. Add the beaten egg, and then quickly all of the other ingredients to the wok/pan, stirring constantly so that the egg is well distributed.
If you want to use healthier brown rice, adjust the cooking times as it will take longer, and you might need to add the peas and corn later.
