Hey guys,
So, I came up with this on a whim. I wanted to eat rice with vegetables but at the same time I didn’t want a meal that would take ages to prepare.
In this view, I made the decision to just put something together and this was born. I didn’t think it was going to turn out so good but it did. Hence, why I decided to post it. I recommend it for students and busy professionals.
The recipe
