Lap Cheung Fried Rice

One word to describe this.... *YUMMY!*

Lap cheung or waxed meat is one of the must have item during the Lunar New Year. Long time ago, it was only during the Lunar New Year season that the yummy lup cheung are being imported from China but now we can get them all year round.

Though I love to eat lap cheung but I try not to eat them too often as they are unhealthy. Why? Well, lap cheung is a type of processed food just like those English sausages which are high with sodium content. PiggyBeng loves eating lap cheung as it's easy to prepare (either steam or lightly fried) and he can slurp down a big bowl of rice with it!
