Fillipino Fried Rice

A friend of mine taught me this recipe so I will pass it on to you - so very easy -

6 cups cooked rice (sticky medium grain)
1 head of garlic (this is between 16 - 20 cloves, smashed and roughly chopped)
1 TBS oil
1 ham steak - diced
9 eggs - beaten (add pepper and salt to taste)
1/4 c. Tamari Soy Sauce (gluten free)
Pepper to taste

In a large frying pan (or wok) place the oil and heat it. Add the garlic and toast it. Add the ham steak to the garlic mixture - heat the ham and mix it well with the garlic. When heated through add the rice, break up the rice and mix well. Add the soy sauce and mix well. Leave the wok on low while making eggs.
In a separate frying pan, add a tiny bit of oil and heat the pan to medium. Add 1/2 of the beaten egg mixture (your pan will probably be too small to do it all at once so take it in shifts). When complete, combine cooked eggs with the rice mixture. Add pepper to taste and have a nice dinner! Serve as a main course - I always do!
You can always add more seasonings but this is a good base for fried rice. You can also freeze it and have leftovers later, or you can feed a herd of people :)

  1. Thanks! This is great...and looks yummy. I find out in a couple months whether my celiac levels are the same "sensitive" or if they've gotten worse in the last couple years. Whoopee! My positive in all this is I know where to turn to for food ideas and support!!
