Fried Rice. Yes everyone. Fried rice in need when the mind can't compute what should be the dish for the day. Fried Rice. I think I have already repeated myself, the anything goes dish? Anything literally (Kampung Fried Rice, Chinese Fried Rice & Lamb Fried Rice). Unless you have up your sleeve a specific need for a specific fried rice like Tom Yum Prawn Fried Rice? Other than that, what is there for me to say? We have already spoken in great length before right? Of course. I know I have fumbled with picturing, maybe not really obviously, then again why bother when taste is our concern right? Malaysian Fried Rice. The Malaysian heavenly promising tastes (Malaysian Lamb Stew, Malaysian Char Kway Teow, Malaysian Gado Gado, Nasi Dagang & Malaysian Fried Mee) and belacan, of course, of course. Me and my love for belacan (Belacan Fried Rice) and the rest of the ingredients listed below.
Ingredients
3cups cooked white rice
10 prawns - remove shells, de-vein and chopped into 4 to 5 pieces

1 1/2 cup lettuce leaves - shredded (or other leafy green veggie)
1 tsp roasted belacan/shrimp powder (optional)

Salt for taste

The ground chilies and the shrimp powder, no doubt adds a special flavor to this dish. I have never seen shrimp powder, but now it does have my interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this seafood rice dish, most of what I have is cajun so it is nice to have an alternate cuisine when it comes to seafood and rice. Great post.
alamak...tengah kebulura ni. Haven't have dinner yet....
ReplyDeleteLooks great, as always! :) I adore seafood with spices, and who can resist a good plate of fried rice. If only my wife liked seafood other than salmon...
