Yang Chow Fried Rice is probably the most eminent fried rice recipe in the Philippines, even in the entire Asian continent. This fried rice recipe is of oriental origin and dates back to the mid 1700s. Until today, the popularity of Yang Chow Fried Rice never ceases. In fact, this is also popular in most of the countries around the world.
The secret in making good Yang Chow Fried Rice has something to do with the ingredients. First, it should be complete, as indicated in the recipe below. The more ingredients are used, the better. The rice should also not stick to each other. Among the necessary ingredients is Barbecued Pork. Also known as Char Siu, Barbecued Pork unleashes great flavors that make this fried rice recipe interesting. It also makes this fried rice complete, making it a meal in itself.
Rice variety plays an important role on every fried rice dish. Choose non-sticky rice when cooking your own fried rice. I also make sure to use leftover rice all the time. The starch in the rice gets less sticky as it gets colder. There is a big chance that the rice won’t stick to each other.

I just have such good memories with this particular dish…when I was a school girl in Iloilo…I used to go on double dates with another couple and this was the ulam that our boyfriends would order. Maybe kasi tipid. May kanin at ulam na. Yun lang tsaka Coke. Happy na kami.
