We love it with all of the above, but we usually end up having whatever meat that is leftover from the previous night&#8217;s meal. It makes a great weekday dinner that is quick and easy (since it is basically made up of leftovers.)<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you plan ahead and make the rice at least one day in advance. Using fresh rice is possible, but it tends to get sticky.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-29557\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"29557\"
