Red Rice {Recipes from Guam} Recipe
I'm sure if you look it up, you can probably find
10,000 ways to make rice.
There's fried rice, sticky rice, spanish rice, dirty rice,
plain white rice….the possibilities really are endless.
This recipe is for red rice…which is the staple rice
for the island of Guam.
It is very similar to spanish rice
in terms of it's color, however the flavor is a tad bit different.
Growing up, my mom only made this during
holiday get togethers, family reunions, or barbecues.
There are many ways to make this dish.
However, this is the way my mom taught us.
Memories come flooding back when I make this for
my own family. I hope this recipe will inspire you
to make memories of your own ;)
