Project Description

Easy dinner with minimal ingredients but lots of flavor. Good as breakfast too!

OVERVIEW

Whenever I cook a grain or a root vegetable, I like to make more than we need for the meal so we have left-overs. Rice, and quinoa, are both so easy to make and can be used in so many types of meals. I don’t find myself eating rice a lot but I’m a big fan of dishes that involve rice. Like fried rice!

Mix things up and add egg, cauliflower, cabbage, greens or any vegetables and add-ins you like!

Frying the rice in a wok here! If you don’t have one, any skillet or pot will do!

I even used frozen organic peas and carrots. Made the meal super quick, fresh or frozen work here.
