I always have some cooked rice of some description either frozen in snap lock bags or just sitting in the fridge from last night’s meal. Trying to cook just the right amount for any one meal eludes me for some reason. My eyes glaze over when I pour the rice into my microwave pot and the endless possibilities rush to my brain. Lol, really it’s a problem.

Therefore, I have come up with endless variations on rice based dishes. From adding sultanas and cloves to the rice when it’s being cooked to edamame and rice salads. You can even use the cooked rice in patties instead of breadcrumbs. Note to self: never throw cooked rice out when you can consume it one way or another.
