Pasko Fried Rice 

What could be better than waking up on Christmas morning to a steaming hot bowl of sinangag with leftover hamon de bola? We Filipinos just love fried rice, especially when you mix juicy Christmas ham in it. Aside from being quick and easy to make, it combines the deliciousness of ulam and rice. Just take out the PC Home Food Keepers that safely stored the cold rice and ham from last night’s Noche Buena and cook Pasko Fried Rice!
