HOW TO COOK FRIED RICE

Fried rice is a variant in cooking rice. Rice which is the staff of life is the main ingredient in the different recipes of fried rice with eggs, meat, or shrimp with vegetables and scallions, among others.

Try this simple Fried Rice Recipes:

1. Traditional ( with Garlic)

Saute minced garlic in oil. Mix in cooked rice. Sprinkle salt. Turn, scoop, and blend the rice in the frying pan well.

Tip: Use a small amount of oil, but more garlic. Rice must be cooked and fried well, so as not to taste rice is just being heated.

2. Chinese

In a pan, sauté garlic, some meat or sausage, and rice (newly boiled rice or clean left over rice). Turn rice from time to time and blend well. Put some green peas and bits of carrots. When fried rice is almost cooked, add some salt, chopped beaten eggs, and bits of spring onions. Serve.

3. Thai

In oil, mix onions, garlic and some salty fish called "bagoong." Set aside.

Beat 2 eggs, then fry in low fire. Cut into strips. Set aside.

Get a green mango. Peel and slice in strips. Set aside.

In another pan, saute with garlic boiled rice. Mix the rice well. Add sautéed salty fish "bagoong." Again, blend well. Set aside.

In a serving plate scoop the fried rice, top it with eggs (strips) and put green mangoes on the side. Serve.

Cooking fried rice is fun. It is just frying rice in many ways and styles. It is easy cooking and with lots of variations to create. In supermarket shelves, ready packs of cooking mixes and herbs are available. You can even find the ready mixes and simply pour it to the rice in pan, and you've got a ready fried rice.

Tip: Don't make cooking, too oily. Butter and 1 teaspoon oil will do.

Rice Trivia:

Some old folks say that rice probably originated from wild species of grass that grew along the shores of lakes in Africa, India and Southeastern Asia.

There was also a legend that rice first came to China during a famine: Once, a young girl went fishing, and caught the king of frogs. The king told the girl to hold out her net to the sun while he croaked a magic song. The girl did what she was told. And slowly, golden light fell through the meshes of the net and there sprouted golden grains.

The Simple Burger You Would Love: Coconut Burger

Burgers are just easy and lovely to eat!

Of course, there are food chains around, and burger houses to visit and munch and lusciously cut with your teeth! Kids and adults love burgers, and mothers can also cook them easily. There are lots of these recipes and cooking styles.

Let me share one recipe, if you have an abundant coconut resource. But then, don't cheat. They're not a substitute for meat or any main ingredient. Tell them exactly, it is made of grinded/ shredded coconut. Coco Burger is uniquely made from coconut!

Here's how:

Ingredients:

1 whole coconut meat (grinded or shredded)
Some flour or cornstarch to let the coconut stick to each other
6 slices of cream bread/ loaf slices
1 egg
A dash of salt and pepper

Procedure:

1. Put the coconut is a large mixing bowl.
2. Add one egg (yolk and white).
3. Wet (but not so wet) the slices of bread (dip into mineral/drinking water in a another bowl).
4. Add to coconut mixture. Mix well.
5. Add around 6 tablespoons of cornstarch (or flour). Check if they the burger mixture sticks together to form patties. If not add more fillers (flour or cornstarch).
6. Add some salt and pepper.
7. You can add herb and spices if you like.
8. Form into patties. Flatten and you can freeze or cook.
9. To cook, fry just like frying meat or fish burgers.
10. Serve with mustard or tomato catsup.
11. Make a sandwich with fresh tomatoes and cucumber.

How to make your bread/sandwich meal yummy: Spread mayonnaise, or sandwich spread, or butter on your bread as desired. Lay on your sandwich some vegetables like lettuce or cucumber. Add the burger patty. Add some cheese. Add fresh tomato and/or onion. Sprinkle some pepper or salt, as desired. Add some mustard or ketchup as desired.

After all the stuff on your bread, put another bread slice on top. Or you can you get a French bread, too. Of course, you can always make variations. Eat now!

Also, please don't forget to say grace before and/or after the meal. Thank you God for the food. Yum!

Coconut fruit is usually grown in tropical countries and around many places in the world. Its juice is good for stomach cleansing, but be sure to take something hot first in the morning. Its meat can be eaten raw and in its shell. They are thirst quenching, especially during summer and in beach parties.

Sometimes lychee fruit is good to add to coconut juice for more flavour or variation. Also, ice-cream can be eaten with the fruit, like our common banana and strawberries.

Happy cooking!

The Basics of Organizing Your Kitchen

"Keep the kitchen clean."

Why? It must be kept clean because you make food in the kitchen, and that food will be taken for nourishment. Being clean and getting the right foods is cheaper than being confined in a hospital.

The kitchen has to be comfortable as the living room because everyone gathers together in the kitchen, as in the dining room.

There must be shelves and a cupboard, among others. If the kitchen is small, then get a small kitchen organizer or clean side tables.

Check these organizing and kitchen tips:

Rags, mats, and/or carpets must be kept dry. When the rag is dirty, wash it immediately.
Polish or scrub your kitchen as you do your living room.
The sink must be washed every time it is used.
Sponges for glasses and plates must be replaced often.
Gas must be turned off, immediately after use.
Pots and pans must be scrubbed to remove blackness.
Try to fill the basic kitchen needs like sugar, salt, coffee, tea, chocolate, milk or creamer, and the most important, mineral water.
Group your condiments and some ingredients, as to use and safely. Put labels on jars if refilled.
Freeze the foods that are needed to be frozen.
Be sure the table cover and mats are fresh and not stinky.
Cupboards and/or cabinets must be thoroughly dusted, as scheduled.
Stocks must be checked for expiry dates.
Budget for you rice, bread or noodles; they're necessary.
Spray insecticide, at least one a week or one every 2-3 weeks. Take the water-based kind. Use them when all foods are inside the refrigerator and/or freezer.
Garbage must be tidied and taken out everyday.
Clean the kitchen surroundings every time you cook, like sweeping and scrubbing the floor. If there's carpet, vacuum it.
Pick up food crumbs; they're inviting to roaches, ants, and other insects.
Be sure the chairs are strong, you might fall.
Knives, scissors, matches and candles must always be returned in its proper place.
Check the electricity, and turn off or unplug if appliances are not in use.
Let dry towels and sponges after use.
Empty bottles and cans are supposed to be away from the kitchen perimeters.
Get tight containers for other food storage, but stack and arrange them orderly.

Keep the kitchen safe, clean, comfortable and fragrant no matter how big or small it is. Remember meals are sacred and the foods we eat are a grace from God.

Organizing a kitchen can be practiced. Just stick to the basics. A well-equipped center and simplification of work and labor will lead to kitchen efficiency and easy handling of the kitchen and/or kitchen grooming habits.

Keep your surroundings clean. Keep your kitchen clean and be healthy!
