As you've already noticed by its quirky title, I improved my yummy fried rice recipe just last Thursday because I was inspired by Jamie and I wanted to cook something for my brothers at home.. [I want to clear it with you though, NO real furry rabbits/wabbits were harmed in this gastronomic experiment. It's a secret why wabbit is affixed. Haha.] So this recipe is really simple and it even goes well with any kind of meat-based viand [like Fidel's favorite chicken nuggets or Jamie's favorite lechon (eeww..)..hehe]. The ingredients are available at reasonable prices and I've clearly specified these so as to suit my taste (and hopefully, yours). The amount of ingredients can vary according to how you want it as well. For instance, if you want it as oil-free as possible, you could omit the canola oil (but I suggest trying it out because it's healthy and it blends nicely with the food you're cooking). The Tarragon leaves make it tangy and unique, and the unsalted butter is as essential as the rice also, so you shouldn't forget them as well. Also, I think you're going to ask why I put in unsalted butter when I'm also adding salt to the dish. Parang redundant noh? But it's really not. Well.. the answer's simple. The taste they generate when mized is somewhat different from using salted butter only in the fried rice because the amount of salt varies when used sparingly. So it's imperative that you have both. However, the ratio of the butter must be proportional to the salt. It should be 3:1.
The original recipe used to exclude the meat (besides the eggs). But because I was inspired (hmmm... bakit kaya...?), I started to add some shrimp, scallops, and even fish fillet. It became tastier!
Mmm... I'm getting hungry.. Let's start.
So initially, you... cook the rice! (duh..) Cook as much as you like but estimate it to how much of the igredients you have because the flavor is important (it shouldn't be bland). Let the rice cool until it is a bit dry and the heat is lessened. (I do this because I don't like my fried rice sticky.) After which, you heat a big frying pan, where you later put the rice in it and cook it with one or two spoonfuls of canola oil, a dash of salt and pepper, 30g of unsalted butter, and three pinches of tarragon leaves. Then you add garlic, sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, the monggo sprouts, and 2-3 eggs. After a minute of easy mixing, you can add the seafood already: shrimps, scallops, and the fish fillet. Sautee well and add more salt. After 4 more minutes of mixing, you add the sesame seeds if you want. They make it tastier. You can serve it with calamansi and your preferred viand after 3 more minutes. Mmmmm... It's that easy.

Another poem yet again...
"That below my head"
Coiled to a pattern are these fragments,
Black and that of reggae
Ingenious pieces
Juxtaposed and filled
Your affection sealed
In its tethered allure,
Enrapturing me with its shade
Confounding me with its could-be-circle
Such a marvel to own
Bicol-like vividness all around
On that below my head I seem to flaunt
"Ahem," she even says as I put it on
