Although most Filipinos ate this for breakfast, it was dinner for us, and we groaningly called it "Tomorrow Must Be Payday Rice." Our freezer always contained many packets of leftover rice wrapped in foil, which is one of the secrets of this dish: fried rice can be "gluey" when made with fresh, hot rice. Our Filipino mother also saved bacon grease in a coffee can, which is another flavor secret of this dish, but I rarely use it because I rarely cook bacon; if you have it, by all means, substitute it freely. - betteirene <br />
