My ARROZ A LA CUBANA

Arroz a la Cubana. The Spanish dish consists of rice, fried egg and tomato sauce. It is sometimes served with fried plaintain. (wikipedia) This dish has become popular in the Philippines that we, Filipinos came up with our version. The Filipino version consists of rice, fried egg, fried plantain or saging na saba, ground beef or pork, and tomato sauce.

This has become one of my kids' favorite, and I have cooked this for them since they were little. :)

In my version, however, I omitted tomato sauce. Instead, I just use tomatoes. here it is:
