I've had this recipe for years (torn out of an unknown magazine) and
have fixed it many, many times. It's quick and easy to fix - and even
easier to eat.

Ever notice recipes saying the meal should be served over rice never simply
say "serve over rice"? They have to guild the lily and make rice sound
sexy and exotic--"beds of rice" "hot cooked rice" "plenty of buttered
rice", "fluffy, fluffy white rice." Poor rice!! It can't stand without
hyperbole. lol

This is not the case with Filipino recipes. Most of them usually say
"serve WITH rice" not OVER. Where did this get started anyway? Is it an
american practice to serve asian foods over rice instead of on the side?
Most restaurants I have been to (filipino, chinese and thai), the rice
is served on the side. Unless it was a rice bowl entree.....which I
don't believe I've seen served in restaurants only in fast food asian
places.
Actually, in retrospect, Filipino recipes don't even mention serving the
food with rice. It is a given that the food will be served with rice
whether it might be noodles, soup or main entree.

I hate it when people use really big words to convey what they mean. It
just makes them sound quite ostentatious. Pffftttt :-p

Attractiveness of the plate... it makes the topping stand out and keeps the
rice as the neat background... it distributes sauce/topping evenly over the
rice... people like to stack things (like napoleons with various things...
mushrooms, salad bits.. kinda like fancy sandwiches).. both for display and
to get many flavors in a bite...
On the other hand maybe Asian people don't do that because they mostly eat
family style where they have the stuff in the center and rice is already on
the plate. So they are used to having different things with their rice, not
rice and one thing.
