Serving Suggestions

Notes

  1. Green Pepper is important for flavor in this recipe Don't skip it
  2. If you want to make a fried rice version, When Stir frying the veggies you need to make sure the condensation from freezing completely evaporates before adding the veggies to the cooked rice.
  3. At the end when you mix the cooked rice and veggies always add the rice to the stir fried veggies not the other way because the cooked rice usually has some clumpy residue at the bottom of the pot.
  4. Since you will be adding the rice to the stir fried veggies remember use a pot big enough for the rice when stir frying the veggies. For you to do otherwise, it is best to transfer the rice to another pot, then you can pour in the stir fried veggies into the pot and stir in.
