Ketchup and Minute Rice, the Recipe

Growing up, my mom would feed us kids hot dogs and rice. We were fortunate enough to have ketchup with our hot dogs. This recipe is a memory of that time. Living in Alexandria, VA, at the age of 19, hungry with nothing in the cupboards but ketchup and minute rice, I remembered how the rice would mix with the ketchup in the dish of my childhood. Because I had no hot dogs, and I remembered I liked ketchup and rice, I said, "what the heck?!"
