Fried Pink Rice – Asian Style

This recipe can use long grain or another rice of your choosing. However, I like the added flavor and color pink rice imparts. Pink rice is milled less than long grain white rice, thus maintaining more of its bran layer and nutrition.

This recipe is also a great one for left over pork, chicken, turkey, or other meat. Don’t eat meat? Tofu is a great choice too.
