Are you familiar with Paella? Well… it is a typical Valencian rice dish from Spain, traditionally eaten on Sundays. The name paella is the word for “frying pan” in Valencian. It is usually garnished with vegetables and meat or seafood.

So why I’m writing about this? Okay, this is what happen…last Saturday I cooked rice with chicken and seafoods flavor, I wanted to post it in my food blog but I don’t know what name should I call it, so I decided to call it as Rice ala Paella since when it was fully cooked I noticed that it tasted and looked like Paella. Hence, I posted it yesterday.

This morning, when I checked the stats of my food blog, I found that there were lots of visitors yesterday who translated my blog into Spanish until now while I’m writing this post. Now my concern is I’m quite anxious because I know that this is not the traditional Paella dish! lol

I got a very simple yet yummy mozzarella stick recipe from an online friend few days ago, so I tried it yesterday and it was relly easy and quick to prepare. I served it as an appetizer for our Iftar yesterday. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:
Mozzarella cheese
All-purpose flour
Egg, beaten
Bread crumbs
Oil for deep frying

Directions:
1. Slice mozzarella cheese into 2 ½ inch length and 1×0.5 inch thick or as desired.
2. Dredge each mozzarella stick into the flour, then dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumbs. If you want the coatings to be thicker, dip in egg again, then coat again with the bread crumbs.
3. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown, turn to brown the other side. Drain in paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. That’s it.  It’s very easy…right?

Note: If you want it to be spicy, season the flour or bread crumbs with any spicy powders of your choice.
