    This was very good and super easy to make. I used brown rice instead of white and ate it over a bed of spinach with extra lime squeezed over the top. Iโ€™ll definitely be making this again. My 2 year old daughter and hubby also enjoyed it. Yum yum.

      We’ve never had any leftovers but it should be good for a day or two in the fridge.

    It was very good! I didnโ€™t have the vegan broth so I used some vegetable broth I had. Next time Iโ€™m going to wrap it in a tortilla!

    I love the simplicity of this meal. Sometimes I will add some cilantro to the rice. Other times I’ll also go crazy and add some unsweetened coconut!
