We all probably take rice shopping for granted. I certainly do. I don't even know the difference between the different types of rice. Once I almost bought rice that's used for kakanin (rice cakes) just because I asked the vendor which type of rice is the sticky one. Something like Japanese rice. True story! Fact is if we go to the supermarket to buy groceries including rice, you might want to make sure you're getting the one with the best quality. One that looks good, smells good, and tastes good of course. An excellent example is this brand that most probably looks familiar to you (especially when you're the one who does grocery errands). It's Doña Maria Premium Quality Rice!
From the start, you can already tell that Doña Maria Premium Quality Rice is truly of premium quality and that it's worth every peso. For one, the packaging is very nice and clean. But the goodness of Doña Maria Rice goes beyond packaging. It's got a satisfying taste, good aroma, and soft texture. It's seriously the type of rice that me and my family love.
Another interesting fact about Doña Maria Premium Quality Rice is that this is the only rice brand in the Philippines that creates rice doing the whole process. From plating, to harvesting, to milling to packing, and distribution. It is proudly made here in the Philippines, although it may taste like imported rice.
Types of Dona Maria
The Miponica White Rice is Glutinous and fluffy, like the texture of a Milagrosa rice. but the quality of a Japanese rice. The Miponica Brown Rice has the nutrients of brown rice while having a chewy texture.
and last but not the least is the Jasponica Congee. This is perfect for making risotto, sticky rice and maki.
As soon as you cook Doña Maria rice, you will immediately see and smell the difference. It's so white and fluffy! And the aroma is clean and appetizing! Seriously. You really have to try it to see the difference.
We were so thrilled that we decided to create a recipe to make the most out of this
beautiful rice!
Island Style Fried Rice With Dona Maria Premium Rice!
We love plain rice but we decided to do this recipe that we found on the internet. ISLAND STYLE FRIED RICE! I like sweet, Rina likes Spam (who doesn't?) And our little Rain loves pineapples. So this was the perfect recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice (we used Doña Maria Jasponica Rice)
- 3 cups water
- 4 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 can of fully cooked diced Spam
- 1/2 cup sliced Chinese sausage
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 small can of pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
First step is of course to cook the rice using a rice cooker. Set aside and let it cool.
Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the diced spam and sliced Chinese sausage. Once they are fully cooked, remove the spam and Chinese sausages from the pan, put it in a bowl, and set aside.
Using the same pan, pour the beaten eggs.
Cook it scrambled style, and then set aside.
Cook it scrambled style, and then set aside.
Next is to heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, dump in the cooked rice and stir. Keep stirring for around 2 minutes.
Then add the garlic powder and once again toss the rice around for around a minute or so.
Once the garlic powder looks evenly distributed all over the rice, dump in the spam and Chinese sausage, the scrambled eggs, pineapple, and oyster sauce. Keep stirring until everything looks completely mixed in. After that, add in the green onions, stir for another 2-3 minutes and you're done!
Final product! It's so easy to do, the ingredients are simple, and it's delicious!
The fluffiness of the Doña Maria Jasponica Rice really did the trick for us!
Rain loved it!
And I couldn't agree with her more!
