Recipe for Simple Burmese Fried Rice - Modernized

Burmese fried rice is as simple as it gets.  Take a handful of cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas), mix them in with some leftover stale rice and fry in a little peanut oil - some salt to taste - and serve!  Although it is that simple, it is much loved by many who have a chance to taste it.  How it is made has a lot to do with the final outcome - and some even say that love makes it taste better!

There is nothing quite like producing something from practically nothing.  Water, some flour, a tiny amount of yeast and another tiny amount of salt - together with heat and time - results in bread. Once upon a time it was thought that making bread also involved quite a bit of energy - and perhaps salt from the physical exertion supposedly required in the process of kneading the dough.
