How To Steam Rice

I eat rice with my bare hand

Next, you pinch a little piece of grilled catfish and then you dip it into a bowl of sour tamarind sauce mixed with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste), put that on rice, make a nice morsel and shoot it straight into your mouth. Close your eyes as you masticate, taste and smell the flavors partying in your palate. This is the way I ate food growing up in the Philippines. We had silverware but preferred to use our hands. I remember visiting my Grandpa Vicente in Barrio Matalusad when I was a little boy. At dinnertime, we assembled around the dulang (a table about 10 inches high) sitting on the bamboo floor in a somewhat yoga lotus posture. A tabo (large bowl) of water is passed around and each family member takes turn washing their hands. If you were the last one, you'll be plunging your hands in some muddy water. Now that I'm no longer married and a lot older, I find myself alone in the house and am finally free again to eat with my hands. Let me tell you something: I feel very close to Mother Earth eating with my hands. I touch the rice that sprouted out of the earth, fed by the life-sustaining sunshine, water, dirt, and the labor of my fellow humans that raised the crop. I enjoy growing vegetables and working on the yard. It provides good exercise for me and it also helps my wallet. I love cultivating and touching and feeling the dirt. I love watching my plants develop and I love to listen to the birds in my backyard. Did you know that the presence of birds is a blessing from God? Birds bring tranquility and peace.
