Brown rice is a wholegrain and is more nutritious then white rice. This is a versatile dish that can be served as a main, side or stored in an airtight container and used for lunches. You will need to cook the rice ahead of time to cool. To speed up the process we have placed the cooked rice in a tray in the fridge to cool down.

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove – peeled, rinsed, crushed
