Cooking Diary - Cheesy Rice Series

Chinese people eat rice, fried vegetables and meat every day and I am also a big fan of cheese and baked stuff. Well, why not combine all these together? Here it is - my cheesy rice series.
Basic principle:
1 stir-fry vegetables, fry meat, cook rice
2 put rice in a pan first, put some cheese on the rice, than put on the vegitables and meat, last, put on another layer of cheese
3 bake everything at 400F for 15 minutes
You can be creative on the selection of vegetables and meat. For example, I had beans and mushrooms mixed with canned salmon once and it turns out like this:

I think the canned salmon tasted better after the baking and mixing with the cheese. This is the creative part of the dish but there are several things that I thought I could improve next time: 1) The color is not very exciting 2) too much cheese on top so you can barely see what is inside 3) the taste of the vegetables are too plain, they need more salt or other seasoning 4)the rice is too plain, I hope it has a cheesy taste as well.

Tonight,when I looked for what's left in the refrigerator, I found a package of snow beans, a can of red beans, mushrooms, shrimps, pork sausage, etc. I decided these are perfect for another cheesy rice dish.
Preparation:
1) cook rice with rice cooker.
2)stir-fry every vegetables and meat separately with seasoning. I just put salt but you can put pretty much whatever you like in it.
3) put rice on the bottom of a baking pan, than a layer of cheese, than the vegetables and meat, last, another layer of cheese
4) bake at 400F for 10-15 minuts
and it turns out like this:

 

I think it is better than last time- look better, and taste better and  it deserves to eat with a fancy drink - cranberry juice : )  

 

Cheers!
