Filipino Steamed Rice, Cebu Style

Recipesfull introduces to you: Seafood Recipes. (Filipino Steamed Rice, Cebu Style). One of my childhood favorites from my hometown, Cebu City, in the Phillipines. When finished, you can steam this dish on a steamer for 10 minutes to mimic the effect of a steamed dish like what they do in dim sum restaurants. I personally think it tastes just fine without steaming.
