Tips

  • This a great way to use left over rice from dinner the night before. 
  • Freeze left over rice in plastic bags, so you can have cooked rice on hand for when you need a quick dinner. It easily defrosts by running hot water through it. 
  • Use any vegetables of your choice to replace what is in the recipe.
