Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp crab paste I used MichMari’s crab paste
  • 2 cups cooked rice one day old
  • Salt to taste
  • Sliced spring onions
  • Fried eggs of choice
  • Gourmet tuyo to serve (optional, but yum)

Instructions

  1. In a pan over medium-high heat, add cooking oil.
  2. When the oil is hot enough, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add red bell pepper (or any vegetable of your choice) and cook until soft.
  3. Add 2-3 tbsp of crab paste. You can add more later if you like. Add cooked rice and mix until rice is warmed up.
  4. Season with salt and add sliced spring onions, mix again. Do a taste test and adjust as per your liking. You can add more crab paste at this point.
  5. Turn off the heat and serve with fried egg of choice.
  6. This can be served with MichMari’s gourmet tuyo or gourmet tinapa. It’s really good!

Recipe Notes

  • You can add shrimps and other seafoods.
  • It’s also lovely to squeeze lemon or calamansi before enjoying, to give that delicious citrusy taste.
  • I don’t recommend adding a lot of crab paste or else it might be overpowering. Also, it’s not good for people especially the ones with hypertension if you consume a lot.
