TabyanInn

This dish was an experiment that turned out to be a family favorite. My mom made this once when I was in high school. When we kept asking what was for dinner, her reply was “It's a surprise!” The dish was a hit, and after that, it was always known as Betty Surprise.

Notes

Source: Betty Tabyanan. This is a good way to use leftover rice. Also, my dad said my mom used the celery leaves, but you can leave them out if you want.
