Tinapa Fried Rice
Tinapa fried rice is fried rice made with smoked fish. I had previously made some smoked mackerel and figured that it would be a great addition to some rice. Smoked trout, smoked whitefish, and smoked tilapia are all great options to use. Tinapa fried rice is commonly eaten for breakfast, but is also a great side dish to accompany your meal.
