>> "SA PULA, SA PUTI" BACON FRIED RICE <<

RED OR WHITE" BACON FRIED RICE - the history of "sa pula, sa puti" is used by people during cock fights on where they want to bet their money on; on the red rooster or the white rooster. Since today is Sunday and this is the legal day in our town to held cock fights. Why not incorporate it to our simple breakfast. I miss home. :)

What we need

Left overs:

Cooked crumbled rice        =  2 servings  =   2.50 Mop

A typical Filipino home always have cold cooked rice (leftover) but if you don't have this, you can cook rice early on or the night before. We usually use the cold rice for fried rice or porridge for breakfast.

Frozen goodies:

Bacon                     = 8 Strips = 24.00 Mop
Mixed Vegetables

Other ingredients:

Minced garlic
Minced onion
Chopped Spring onion
Minced chili pepper (optional)
A handful or 2 of mixed vegetable
1 knob of butter


Olive oil
Fish sauce
Seasoning
Tomato /spaghetti sweet style sauce
Eggs


Total may be about more or less 5.00 Mop

What I did

1. Heat the pan, add a bit of olive oil... just a bit!

2. Cook the bacon, it will start to sweat all that excess fat.. yeaaaaaaah!!!!
3. We have 8 strips of bacon so I just did 4 strips first and set it aside to cool.
4. Cook the other 4 strips to the crisp you like.
5. Chop the first 4 strips of  bacon.
6. Once the other 4 strips are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
7. Oh yeah, all those gorgeous oil in the pan, we are going to use it..add a knob of butter.
8. Be careful not to burn the butter, lift the pan from heat if needed.
9. Once the butter is melted, toast the garlic.
10. If you are happy with how beautify brown the chopped garlic are, add the onion, chili pepper and spring onion.
11. Mix them a bit, and then add the mixed vegetables.

12. Season them well but not too salty because the bacon is a bit salty already.
13. Add in the chopped cooked bacon.

14. And in the rice.
15. Get some fish sauce in there... about 1-2 tbsp, season well.
16. Mix them all and be merry!!!! (if only i have a wok, it will be a lot easier.. hehehe)

The "White" fried rice is done! Just take out some of the fried rice and set them aside.
Leave some for the "Red" fried rice. If you are too lazy to do the red, you don't have to do this... ^_^

17. You can use tomato paste + ketchup to make the red rice but I have a sweet style spaghetti sauce lying around from the Philippines, so I used it instead.
18. Just mix that in with the rice.
 19. Season again as you wish. I added paprika because the sauce is sweet and a bit acidic so, I kicked it a bit with spice.
20. Mix well and that's it!







Do your eggs in another pan, sunny, scrambled, whichever you like..
In our case, we don't like to season sunny eggs because we like to incorporate the eggs with the fried rice. If the fried rice is seasoned well, the unseasoned egg should be a compliment. :)

Done!

The fried rice can serve up to 8.
1 plate can serve up to 4 depending on the appetite.. hehehe :) . If you have a big family, just add more bacon and eggs :)
