Cheese Baked rice our style!

My housemate and I were out of ideas on what to have for lunch one of the Sunday afternoon. So, we decided to cook according to the ingredients we have left, which were carrots, cauliflower and button mushrooms. My friend was craving for something cheesy yet filling so I suggested why not try cheesy baked rice like those we have in Kim Gary restaurant except ours is much simpler.

It started off with washing and cooking of the rice. Followed by cutting the carrots and cauliflower we had into smaller pieces while not forgetting the button mushrooms as well. The vegetables and mushrooms were blanched with boiling hot water.

Once done, the vegetables were stirred fried with the alfredo sauce and some milk. An egg can be added as well to make it more flavorful and acts as a good source of protein. The mixture will then be poured on top of the cooked rice and a slice or two of cheese will be spread on top of the rice.

It will then be microwaved for at least 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt. Then tadaaa….Its done! With just 3 simple steps, anyone can do it and its as simple as ABC.

We enjoyed our food while watching the movie “Dear John”. It was a sad love story which eventually had happy endings. I particularly love this song  entitled “Little House” that was sang by Amanda seyfried .
