Tunday

Tunday is a traditional dish originating from the Philippines, particularly popular in the Visayas region. It is a type of fried rice that is typically made with glutinous rice, which gives it a sticky and slightly sweet texture. The dish is often prepared using leftover cooked rice, which is fried with various ingredients such as garlic, onions, and sometimes vegetables like carrots or peas. Tunday is commonly seasoned with soy sauce, fish sauce, and sometimes a touch of sugar to balance the flavors. It is often served as a side dish or a light meal, accompanied by other Filipino dishes. The name "tunday" is derived from the Tagalog word "tundok," which means "to mix" or "to stir," reflecting the process of combining the ingredients. The dish is versatile and can be customized with different ingredients based on regional preferences and available ingredients. Tunday is a staple in Filipino cuisine, enjoyed for its simplicity and delicious taste.
