One of the most popular topic these days, "What are you having for breaking the fast today?" It's always back to food So I told them that today I would be making fried rice. Then, some of the reactions that I got were; "Just fried rice? That's a pity!" (Why pity? I don't get it!) "You're not making anything special?" (It is special!) "..." (....) What is wrong with fried rice anyway? I think fried rice is also delicious. It might be simple and easy to make, but doesn't make it any less special. Plus, there are a lot of variation for fried rice. Some are fancier than another. Image of my fried rice. With fried egg on top

@marlina it is our staple food here. Rice is life. But I am reducing rice intake for now. I eat bread or pasta for 1 meal a day.

Your fried rice looks delicious! The egg on top is making my mouth water.

I think some people/cultures would consider fried rice to be only a side dish. But when I grew up, my mom would make fried rice as the meal . . . it had meat and vegetables so it was a complete meal. We love fried rice!!!

For us, if it's fried rice, then it is the main dish. I guess some cultures/people don't see it that way.

@prinzcy A lot of side dish types have only little bits of things in it - and at restaurants, it is often like that here. But the ones we make at home we add things to make it a main dish - like your fried egg (we do scrambled eggs). Then again, we are rice people .

Fried rice could be eaten on it's own just like what you're going to do or fried rice could be taken with side dish like vegetables or fish or shrimp just like what your friends are saying.

No side dishes for me as there's already a lot in that fried rice. Though I could make another version with more side dishes.

I guess it's because of Ramadan? Do you mean others make special dishes every night after the fast for the whole month?

MY fried rice normally includes eggs, leftover chicken, hotdogs, ham or bacon.

I like fried rice and have had it with scrambled eggs before. If you're talking about favorite topics here, we talk about any meal many times. It works if you have nothing else to talk about or want to share your food with others here.

Fried rice is delicious and I had it this week. It is a special food as the ingredients are variable. Sometimes, I add bacon or corned beef with fresh veggies.

I'm with you on this one. I love fried rice as well, and there ARE other ways to make it and spruce it up a bit. I like the idea of the fried egg on top. Looks and sounds very good. Nothing wrong with fried rice at all.

I love fried rice and more the ingredients from meat to vegetable the better.
