I always make too much rice. Is that what you do, or are you more accurate with your estimations of how much you will eat?

I always cook too much so will often throw it in my salad for lunch the next day. However the other day there was far too much left over so I did some creative thinking and came up with this sweet little recipe. We had left over rice and quinoa and yum it worked so well together.

You can use any veggies you have in the fridge. You could use tempeh if you don’t like tofu and you could use tahini instead of peanut butter

1 tbsp peanut butter
1 clove garlic

Method
