Cooking Tip:
You can use fresh vegetables
or this dish as well--just cut up
some of your favorites.
Broccoli, mushrooms, bell
peppers and snow peas work
well in this dish. Be sure to add
hese to the shopping list if you
decide to use fresh.
Double the amount of rice
needed for your family and
save for Fried Rice on
Thursday. The health benefits
of brown rice are undisputed,
but I love white Jasmine with
his dish!
