BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN AND CRAB FRIED RICE


Ok I admit it, I'm obviously a fan of this sweet meat called pork. I do eat my vegetables but I am more of a meat person. And my meat of preference? That glistening, fat laden, tender, juicy cut of porcine goodness. When we came here in America I vehemently experienced pork withdrawal that even a bowl of chicken adobo can't cure. Good thing there's good ol' bacon. Fried bacon for breakfast, bacon on my salad, bacon on my pasta, bacon in my sandwich.... bacon.. bacon.. bacon.
I've tried chicken liver, shrimps and asparagus wrapped in bacon so why not chicken.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken
What's in it:
2 pcs. Chicken Breasts cut into 1/2 inch strips
Bacon (I prefer the honey cured or maple flavored)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper

How It's Done:
Mix salt, pepper and lemon juice. Pour lemon mixture over chicken, mix to coat the strips. Wrap bacon by winding spirally on chicken strips. Shallow fry on medium heat.

Crab Fried Rice
What's in it:
4 c. Cooked (boiled) rice
1/2 c. Cooked crab meat
2 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 Onion diced
2 Eggs (scrambled, fried and cut into thin strips)
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. cooking oil
Salt

How It's Done:
Saute garlic in oil until light brown. Add in onion and saute until translucent. Put in soy sauce then rice. Mix until soy sauce is evenly distributed over the rice. Put crab meat and eggs. Add salt to taste. Continue cooking and mixing for 5 min.
