Now I'm about to introduce an Asian dish that will be very strange & foreign to many of you. We call it 'Mui Fan' which is loosely translated from the Cantonese words 'Mixed Soupy Rice'. It's a light dish that will fill your stomach without being oily & overpowering. The subtle sweetened chicken broth stirred together with corn starch for that thickened texture mixed with eggs & beancurd form the base of this dish while the hot white rice is the main staple that absorbs the tasty broth into them. To top things up, I added some savory salted fish bits for a contrasting flavor & to whet the appetite. Not too much though. Every spoonful is such a satisfying sensation as the hot soup & the semi melted rice dissolves into your mouth.
PS: If you prefer something heavier, you can either add in seafood or meat of your choice.

The simplistic 'Mui Fan' ready for serving.
A fulfilling gastronomic symphony of sweet & salty goodness minus the guilt.
I had extra servings of the broth and decided to make full use of it by wrapping some fresh whole shrimps with chopped water chestnuts in wanton skin wraps. A 5-10 minute preparation for thawing and wrapping & you have the best complimenting side dish for my 'Mui Fan' dish. Enjoy!
