Java rice
Java rice, sometimes called yellow fried rice, is a Filipino fried rice dish characterized by its yellow-orange tint from the use of turmeric or annatto. Variants of the dish add bell peppers, pimiento, paprika, and/or tomato ketchup to season the fried rice. Despite its name, it does not originate from Java or Indonesia in general. Although its actual origin is uncertain, Java rice is associated with Engracia Cruz-Reyes' Aristocrat restaurant (founded in 1936 in Manila), in part due to their popularization of serving their chicken barbecue (inihaw) with this preparation of rice.
