Notes
Rice: I use 1 cup jasmine rice, cooked to package directions with ½ teaspoon kosher salt for the 3 cups of rice noted in the recipe. Leftover reheated rice also works great!
Pesto: Any pesto including store-bought is delicious with this recipe! In the winter or if you don't have a ton of fresh herbs, I love using kale walnut pesto.
