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.

well jencai, our family members usually love to have plain rice, m ostly during lunch hrs along with pulses and pickles, its really tasty, and during morining hrs we eat parathas (made from kneaded flour of wheat) and chappatis during lunch or dinner.

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.

i like my dihes to be served with plain rice as in this wat i can enjot the taste of that veg. too and fried rice in itself is full of so many things that u dont feel the need of anything with it.
as i m a rice lover, so i love to eat it in any form but on daily basis i like it with whatever the serving is with it.

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!

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 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!

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.
