I love fried rice for breakfast and also plain rice. But due to health reason I now avoid friedrice because of the fats. I'm now into brown rice which is healthier. I also reduce my rice consumption from 2 cups to 1 cup per meal because rice makes you fat if you don't burn out the calories.

In my place, we have a type of meal called ... economical rice. For a meager sum, we get rice, and three types of cooked vegetables or meat. Good for lunch! Dinner wise..... most like to eat rice with different dishes. Meat, vegetables and soup!

white rice or fried rice may vary the taste from the viand we eat with it. . . we can say we love fried rice if we have dishes like pork tocino , soy fish , sesame chicken , longganisa and corned beef then with white rice for dishes that maybe oily types or the fried ones and those other dish that are salty or strong in flavors like beef steak , breadded or grilled pork chop or pork ribs , bareque , adobo , lechon and chili seafoods.

Hi! That is also the way I prefer to eat rice. I can't really explain why I love fried rice for breakfast. The way I see it, it's more filling with all those spices and veggies (if you are in the habit of putting). Breakfast is suppose to be the heaviest meal of the day. Lunch and dinner has to be plain because of all the other choices of food to go with it. This will also cut down on my oil intake. Thanks for this post. Have a great day. Happy posting!

Yes, breakfast should be the heaviest meal of the day. And fried rice is suitable in the morning. Thank you also for the response!

i love fried rice. but it's not healthy to have it all the time especially when done with too much oil. so, i have it but not all the time. i still prefer to have plain rice over fried rice.

Yeah, you are absolutely right. It would not be healthy if we would eat alot of fried rice, it contains alot of oil. Therefore it would not be good for our health eating too much of it. Maybe we could have them only in our breakfast. Thank's for the response!

I prefer white rice to be taken with delicious dishes like prawns sambal, chicken curry, sweet and sour fish. I take fried rice occasionally when I’m eating during office break so that I don’t consume too much time in the restaurant.

The way I like rice the best is just plain white rice with lots of butter, not margarine it has to be butter. I do not like it with a lot of things in it or even fried. Not fancy for me.

i do that, too sometimes especially when the rice is just newly cooked. just put some butter and allow the butter to melt with it... smells really delicious and tastes so yummy. too fattening though.

It depends on my mood. However, the taste of a dish is better appreciated when eaten with plain rice. I could savor the flavor of Spicy Szechuan Eggplant better with just steamed or boiled rice. When I take fried rice I don't eat it with anything else because I want the kind of fried rice that almost resemble that of your attached image. It is almost like a full dish in itself. My favorite is Yang Chow Fried rice. How would you ask for more if there are already bits of meat, veggies, some seafood, and eggs in it? I would only just need some cayenne pepper or fresh chili sprinkled over it for a more enjoyable meal!

yes, i appreciated dishes most when it served with a plain rice in it. fried rice had alot of stuff, so we really don't have to ask for more, unless it was just flavored with butter, garlic and onion.

I love fried rice.. But I only stick to it when I'm eating dry foods like fried, grilled, roasted, etc.. But if the dishes or viands are with sauce or broth, I prefer plain rice so I could enjoy the taste better..

I prefer to eat both. If there is fried rice in the house then it is fried rice for me, if none then plain rice will do. Im just observing that in the past few months I have gaining weight because I am eating a lot of rice. I think its about time I lessen it.
