½ Lb (250 g) white rice (long grain)

Rice: you'll need loose, dry cooked rice (long grain) - cook the day

peel garlic cloves, cut them in a few pieces
Heat up oil in skillet or wok at medium heat,
add onions, stir well, lower heat after a
few minutes, add garlic pieces, cook at low heat for 20 minutes or so
Turn up heat to medium, add ground beef,
crumble with stirring spoon and let it brown, stirring
frequently
Add cumin, coriander and pepper, stir in, stir well
Add ham or bacon
Ten minutes or so later heat up a third of the rice in microwave
and add, ten minutes
later the second third, and repeat
Fry eggs to put on top or make an omelet, cut it in
strips and mix in
Turn off heat and add soy sauce, stir well and serve immediately
Pieces of cucumber are a good side dish (peel and wash, cut in
four or five pieces, then those pieces lengthwise in fours)
