There are times when you just want to prepare a quick and easy meal without taking anything away from it in terms of flavour and taste. It’s so easy to prepare rice in the same old way, all the time. I have here a very simple recipe that you can make to spice up your meal time when using rice. It’s best to use left over rice for this but if you haven’t got any, there’s absolutely no harm in preparing the rice and immediately attempting this recipe. Serve with your preferred source of protein, i.e. meal, beans, etc.’
