Rice is the staple food in the Philippines. Cooked rice is served on the table 3 times a day: that is for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of rice isn’t it? For a Filipino, your meals won’t be complete and it will be considered as snacks if not served with rice.
The Philippines is even considered as the 8th world’s largest rice producer and is also one of the largest rice importers.
Rice is also the main ingredient of the many kakanins or native delicacies of the country. It is also made into soup like the goto and arroz caldo. There are also festivals and events that find innovative ways in preparing rice.
So if you get a little bored of the usual rice preparation, keep in mind that you can always experiment with it. Another way to cook your rice is to make it as rice fritters. It’s a recipe shared to us during the Bago City Cookfest a few years ago.
