If you like things spicier, see the recipe note.<\/p>\n<p>The only ingredient that takes any real preparation time in this recipe is the brown rice. I only use brown rice in my house, but if you use minute rice, this is much quicker to prepare. However, I&#8217;ve found it takes just as much time to cook 4 servings of brown rice as it does to make 8 to 12 servings. So, I cook up a big batch at the beginning of the week which cuts my evening meal time preparation down considerably.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-29465\"
