Fried Rice

This is a basic recipe for fried rice that you can add to as desired. If adding other ingredients, increase the number of eggs to 3.

1 - 2 spring onions, as desired
2 large eggs

pepper to taste
4 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, as needed
4 cups cold cooked rice

Wash and finely chop the green onion. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt and pepper.

Heat a wok or frying pan and add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggs. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly scrambled but not too dry. Remove the eggs and clean out the pan.

Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the rice. Stir-fry for a few minutes, using chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart. Stir in the soy sauce or oyster sauce as desired.

When the rice is heated through, add the scrambled egg back into the pan. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot.

Egg Omelette for Breakfast

An omelette or omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs quickly cooked with butter or oil in a frying pan, sometimes folded around a filling such as cheese, vegetables, meat (often ham), or some combination of the above. Omelettes may be only partially cooked on the top side and not flipped, even prior to folding.

Here in the Philippines, we do sometimes call it Scrambled egg.  It's one of my favorite dish not just for breakfast but also for lunch or dinner.  I always eat it with rice or bread.  Countless fillings such as onions, garlic, tomatoes, corned beef, potatoes, peppers or any possibly leftovers like ground, chopped or shredded pork and beef are used.  I prefer spring onions and tomatoes or sometimes potatoes.  Try it!  

2 eggs

spring onions, finely chopped

tomato, finely chopped

salt and pepper to taste

oil to fry

1.  Beat the eggs. 

2.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

3.  Heat oil in the frying pan and add the beaten eggs.  Cook over low heat till mixture is bit dry.

4.  Add the spring onions and tomatoes at the center.

5.  Then fold it...  flip it if you want to fry the other side or just leave as that if you want the top is partially cooked.

6.  Serve hot with plain or fried rice or bread.

Breakfast at Jollibee!

I had my breakfast at Jollibee.  It is the country's leading fast food chain here in the Philippines.  Jolllibee is an American-style fast food chain with  Filipino influenced dishes specializing in burgers, spaghetti, chicken and some local Filipino dishes.  I ordered Sausage and Egg Pandesal with Hot Chocolate... with free local newspaper! :)
