Leftover brown rice stir fried with cauliflower/mushroom and Asian seasonings…
When I have vegetables that have to be used up asap and leftover brown rice, I usually do a stir fry by adding the Asian seasonings that’s always seen in my refrigerator. It always turns out delicious and can be served along with baked or pan fried chicken, fish or with some veg curries. On days, I have leftover cooked chicken, I add that as well and it turns into a one pot meal- easy breezy cooking on a lazy or busy day.
