FRIED RICE W/TUNA


Photobucket Fried Rice m/Tuna Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

Fried Rice w/Tuna  is very versatile dish, you can add whatever  ingredients available in your pantry either meat or seafood together with vegetables making them a complete meal.

 Now I'm using canned tuna together with carrot for a quick meal. Despite of easy method,  Fried Rice w/Tuna turns great and becomes my family favorite dish. Squeeze the limes to get rid of fish smell. Cabbage or long bean could be added when preparing this dish.

CORN PULAO



It is so simple to prepare and very tasty too. Addition of whole kernel corn in this recipe makes it more flavorful and nutritious. You can either use fresh of frozen corn. Corn Pulao can be eaten with any hot curry or just yogurt for vegetarian version.

Using rice cooker is the best option but you can also cook them on stove top but once the water has evaporated, close the lid and continue cooking with lowest heat.

TOMATO RICE



There are so many ways to prepare this  Tomato Rice but this turns out great. I'm using long grain rice but you can also use basmati rice. If you're using basmati rice, do soak the grain for 20 minutes then drain. Basmati rice produces perfect rice all the time, it has special aroma.

It is highly recommended to use rice cooker for cooking this dish in order to avoid sticking to the bottom if not just use ordinary pot but once the water evaporates you must use the lowest flame to continue cooking the rice until it is done.
