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.

While in the Philippines, I cook this dish for breakfast and i called it Sky Lab. I presented it with a cup of garlic fried rice and top with a sunny side up and i alternate the fried banana and sauteed ground pork or beef on the side of the plate. Sarap talaga!!!
