\ Since my dad had high blood pressure, he had changed his eating habits drastically.
Although he has not turned himself into a full vegetarian, he had tried several vegetarian food which were helpful and beneficial to lower his high blood pressure.
He had adjusted his eating habits into healthy foods, such as white rice to brown rice, from white bread to wholewheat bread, from pasta to wheat pasta and many more.
I am glad and happy for him because he had been living an unhealthy lifestyle for decades.
It is fortunate and unfortunate that because of his illness that had made him to live a healthier lifestyle and eating habits which benefited him in general well being.
One thing for sure, brown rice isn’t easy to cook.
He said that he needed to soak the brown rice 3 hours before cooking time.
Furthermore, brown rice soak up more water than white rice, at least 2.5 cups
Brown rice needs more than 1 hour of cooking.
Initially it was difficult to incorporate brown rice with his daily meals.
It taste raw , bland, chewy bites and he feels fuller after one small bowl of brown rice.
Sometimes, he couldn’t finish the brown rice if my brother isn’t home for dinner or when my sick mother eats less.
Hence, he had thought of turning the overnight brown rice into Fried Brown Rice with Medlar Seeds
This is indeed a unique Fried Rice that I had never tasted in my life.
