My lunch is your dinner. Thinking about my birthday dinner.

I don´t usually eat big dinners except when I have guests. And then we eat at 9 to 9:30 PM. But lunch is my biggest meal. And when Rosa comes I have to make a bigger lunch. I have never seen anyone that eats as much as she does. We bring food to the table (many times enough to have leftovers for dinner) and she always asks whether I will eat more. When I say no she dumps all the rest in her plate. Today I had some leftover rice and a pork chop. I made a delicious Chinese rice. As it is Wednesday and Rosa was here, it all disappeared. I still had some of the black beans that Tania had brought and she ate them too . But the reason I´m writing this post is that the rice was delicious. So much, that I´m thinking about cooking that for my birthday party instead of normal white rice. As you see, even though we are only going to be 6, I want to have a lovely dinner. Today I made hummus to serve that day.

I'm curious, how do you cook Chinese rice? I would like to taste it too. If you would be kind enough to share the how. Thank you, in advance.

In the recipe I read you first cook normal white rice. Then you cook chicken, pork of shrimp in a wok add diced red sweet pepper, dicen bunch onions (the white part), ginger and soy sauce. Add then the meat previously fried, and the rice until it is heated. At last you add the green part of the bunch onions cut diagonally.

I always fry the rice with a bit of crushed garlic before cooking it.

I can't eat much at a time. That's why I eat four times a day. The doctor too has advised me to take small servings at a time.

Doctors tell that to people with diabetes. I know because my husband had it. Several times a day and small portions.

@marguicha People with acidity and gastric are advised to eat that way. Therefore I take small amount at a time.

I am curious to know on how you make rice delicious. Did you fry it and put some seasonings and garnishing?

@marguicha ours is a reverse one. We cook the rice and fry it especially those leftovers.

I can see a wonderful delicious dinner coming up for your birthday. Rosa does have a good appetite. Some people have that and I am shocked at their portion size.

I don´t like to be near people who put too much food in their plates. I prefer to eat seconds.

@marguicha Actually I never overeat. And being a diabetic, I have to keep a check on my portions too. Looking at too much of food in plate makes me a bit uneasy. I am used to light meals at their times. And no one in the family has a huge appetite.
