I’d like to tell you that this recipe is quick and easy. But since rice takes forever to cook…it’s easy, but not so quick. But it is perfect if you went to the gym while your husband fed the children mac & cheese and now you need to feed yourself…at bedtime.
You can easily use left over rice or boil in the bag riceto make this a 5 minute meal, but if you need to do something for 45 minutes (like put the children to bed), it is just as easy to make rice and have a yummy, healthy meal for one!
