• Menu Suggestions
• Since this dish involves an abundance of diverse ingredients, I like to complete the meal with few additional recipes. Sautéed Tofu (page 62) can be prepared while the rice is cooking. A platter of grape tomatoes and baby carrots round out the meal nicely. If you want to add one more item, steamed broccoli would be just the thing. Or, if time is not an issue, may I suggest upgrading that to Spicy Sesame Broccoli (page 197)?
