Laing Fried Rice

Yesterday, I cooked Laing. So I decided to use some leftover rice and laing to make Laing Fried Rice! And boy, was it so good! This is a must-try dish if you cooked up some laing!

The ingredients to cooking laing fried rice is pretty straightforward. The usual oil, garlic and salt are there with laing and rice of course. What makes this dish special is the addition of crispy sweet dilis!  What I did to ensure that I capture all the flavors in laing fried rice is to cook the dilis first then use its oil to cook the fried rice.  I marked laing fried rice as one of my favorite dishes to cook! It’s that yummy!
