Purple Rice and Shrimp

Bento #09 ~ Purple Rice and Shrimp

Another  healthy complete meal, but the difference now is I used purple rice (I really don't know how to call this, maybe wild rice?). I have here rice, top with egg, shrimp, tofu, cabbage, peas, and cherry tomatoes.

Bento #05 ~ Fried Chicken and Rice

Repost: The orginal was taken by blogger :(

I'm eating big time today! Kind of heavy food, but I think it's healthy in a way since it's a complete meal. How I enjoy using my do it yourself (DIY) rice molder and trying to fit all the food into the small lunch box. Good thing in my place where I live, I can buy small portion of everything. For instance, boiled egg, cooked rice, and even fresh fruits and vegetables.

Salmon and Cabbage Friedrice

Today, I cooked brown rice and can't decide what to do with the salmon, the only vegetable I have in the refrigerator is cabbage. "If I'll fry or steam the fish, I still have to saute the cabbage." I thought it would be nice if I'll just make fried rice and here it is!

1 slice of salmon
2 cups left over rice ( or fresh rice)
1/4 head cabbage (shredded)
1 stalk green onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon olive oil
light soy sauce or salt
pepper to taste
chili powder (optional)

I usually use light soy sauce because of its low sodium content.

Rub salmon with lemon salt powder just to get rid of smell.

Let it boil enough to turn pink, remove the skin and chop.

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoon of oil, fry garlic until fragrant.

Add salmon, salt, pepper, and stir fry for a minute.

Put the cabbage and stir fry until the cabbage slightly wilts.

Add rice, soy sauce and chili powder; stir to incorporate for about 2 minutes.

Lastly, add scallion and fresh basil (other fresh herbs if desired).

Egg can be added if desired.

Another option is to make fried rice omelet. In a bowl, add seasoning.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil, pour in and spread out the egg. When it's

almost cooked, place the rice on top and fold the omelet over.
