Morisqueta Tostada ala Mandarin (Fried Rice Mandarin Style)
Are you tired of your regular fried rice or want to give it some zest and turn it into a complete meal? So this recipe is just right for you. Found this from an old cookbook and ingredients are readily available and easy to cook too, it’s Morisqueta Tostada ala Mandarin
Morizqueta is a Spanish word for ‘steamed rice‘ while Tostada is a term for ‘fried‘ .
Here are the ingredients:
- 3 eggs, well-beaten
- 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp. peanut or sesame oil
- 5 cups steam rice or left steamed rice
- 1 cup finely diced
- 1/4 c carrots finely diced
- 1/2 c scallions or green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp each sugar and soy sauce
- 1/2 cup peas, frozen or canned
Procedure:
- Beat eggs, cook them slightly moist in 1 tbsp. oil.
- Saute in the remaining oil: fluffed-up rice kernels, ham and carrots
- Add scallions, sugar, peas and soy sauce. Turn over several times until mixture is lightly browned and ingredients well-blended for about 5 minutes over moderate heat. A minute before serving, mix eggs that had been shredded or cut in narrow strips.
Variations:
- To make native fried rice (sinangag), fry 3 cloves of (crushed) garlic before adding rice. Substitute langoniza or Philippine sausage for ham. Shred or diced before adding.
- To make Thai rice, add sugar, peas and straw mushrooms. Substitute that soy sauce which is lighter in color and texture for Chinese soy sauce.
Greener Lawns and Better Gardens
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Every homeowner should make sure that his property is well-maintained at all times. Your home is not only a place where you nurture family relationships and cherish memories. It is also an asset that should gain value over time. You can boost your home’s value by making sure that your lawn is greener and your gardens are better. You definitely do not want your lawn to be the only one that is unkempt in your neighborhood. After the snow has melted away and has left your lawn a little worse for wear, it’s time to bring out your Scotts® Snap® Spreader System to feed your lawn into a lush green carpet.
Here are some tips that you can use to make your lawn greener and your property seem worth more than it actually is:
1. Know your lawn – the decision on what to do with your lawn will depend on the kind of grass and the kind of lawn set up that you have. You should also be able to have the measurements of your lawn so that you can estimate the amount of feeds to buy. The coverage estimate indicated in the Scotts Snap Pac grass feeds are pretty much accurate because of the unique loading, locking, and flow rate auto-setting used in the Scotts Snap Spreader System.
Onion & Chives Crackers
Crackers and coffee, this was my usual merienda or afternoon snack. Yes, I know it’s a bit weird talking about coffee (unless iced) in this scorching weather. But this one was taken during one of those rare days when it was raining cats and dogs this summer season where you can wear sidi fusion boots when you go out of the house and don’t want to get your feet wet. Anyways, just loved this new onion and chives flavor of Skyflakes crackers. First was their classic one and then later the garlic flavor, this was the latest I saw and bought from the grocery. The onion and chives flavor lingers on your palate, then wash it out with a hot cup of coffee, perfect..
