I dont know about you but towards the end of the year I start feeling uninspired in the kitchen. I’ve already served up my greatest hits and tired of the same old same old.<\/p>\n

I was left with a lunch time dilemma this morning. All I had left was plain rice from last night’s dinner. What was I to do ? Time for a pantry raid I thought.<\/p>\n

With whatever I had in the fridge and cupboard I turned that plain old boring rice into a fabulous summer lunch time dish. (Yes I am quite chuffed with myself)<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Leftover rice
\nMushrooms
\nBaby spinach
\nRed peppers
\nSesame seeds
\nCrushed garlic
\nLemon pepper
\nEggs scrambled<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n

Braise the mushrooms on high heat with a little butter and some olive oil Once they have red crispy outside add soy sauce according to your salt preference.<\/p>\n

Throw in some sesame seeds, then sprinkle lemon pepper,\u00a0 followed by rice and mix well to coat the rice\u00a0 evenly in liquids and seeds.<\/p>\n

Lower the heat. Throw in the baby spinach and pop on the lid. Just let the spinach wilt. Then toss the scrambled egg in and mix through.<\/p>\n

Garnish with crunchy red peppers.<\/p>\n

I think it’s a recipe that is so versatile and would work well with any type of\u00a0 vegetables.<\/p>\n

Try broccoli, corn and carrots
\nOr three colours of peppers.<\/p>\n

As long as you have the rice, soy sauce & scrambled egg base the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

Happy cooking !<\/p>\n
