Background
This recipe is an ideal to use up leftover steamed rice or you can use ready-cooked rice sold in the supermarkets. You can serve this as quick meal with a crispy salad (perhaps add some tinned lentils or chickpeas to the recipe), or a side dish in a roast dinner menu (it goes well with roasted turkey and goose).
