Notes
There are so many ways to eat rice...fork, spoon, fingers, chopsticks...or like me throw your head back, open your mouth and tip the bowl in!
Ok jokies...but honestly, when I make a meal with leftovers and it tastes this good, that's what I'm tempted to do.
This recipe is ideal for when you have a bunch of leftover herbs and don't want to waste them.
Serve with tofu (like I did), roast chicken, grilled shrimp or even a fried egg on top.
A healthy, herby meal awaits you.
