Arroz a la Cubana means Cuban-style rice. It is a Spanish dish which consists of rice, egg, meat and fried banana slices as side dish. This dish is very popular here in the Philippines.

You can use ground pork or ground beef for this dish.Or you can choose to cook a mixture of both like I did.

I never liked measuring ingredients,so for the most part of the cooking I just eyeballed them.
