This recipe is one of the most budget-friendly, fast and easy to prepare food.  This is one of the simplest recipes which you can say, "Kanin pa lang, ulam na." 😂 because everything is in it, you have the rice and the ulam in one dish. You can top it sometimes with a fried egg.

If you're a student this recipe should be on your list like if you don't have anyone to cook for you especially if you're renting an apartment, dormitory or condo. I came to learn this recipe from a friend of mine while I was staying with her in a boarding house in Makati. We're both lazy to go out and don't want to go out so she decided to make fried rice. I was surprised she used canned tuna in adobo sauce which I'm not familiar at that time and it was possible to combine the two.😂😂 I was surprised because it really tasted good. 

In this recipe, I used 555 Tuna Adobo but you can use other brands, plain tuna, or the simply favored canned tuna from the gold seas brand. I like the rice here if it has that crispy bottom because it adds texture to the dish. You might want to use leftover rice straight from the fridge rather than freshly cooked because it's much easier to separate and will be thoroughly coated by the sauce during cooking. If the rice is not placed on the fridge or you used freshly cooked rice, it will be too sticky and it would be difficult to saute with the other ingredients and sauce will not coat the rice properly. I also love eating this with a fried egg with a runny yolk. It's so yummy..👌😋

How about you how do you like your fried rice? Enjoy cooking everyone!
