It's a Matter of Taste: Hot and Spicy Garlic Rice

     Let's face it! We Asians definitely love rice and you could probably say that most of us couldn't live without it. Some Asians eat rice three times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some even eat it four times a day! Rice is the basic staple food in Asia and you can cook rice in MANY ways and it also depends what type of food that goes with it. Some say, plain steamed rice goes best with fried food while other say Fried rice with toppings goes well with fried foods. Whatever the combinations are, you have your own preferences. Hot and Spicy Garlic Rice goes pretty well with fried chicken (for me that is) on a perfect Saturday when all you want to do is be lazy and cook up something yummy. It's a perfect combination of toasted garlic, chopped chili, dried basil leaves, dried rosemary leaves and black pepper. :)
