Tips
*We used chicken left from yesterday’s Fajitas, but you can substitute for a different protein. We found that tofu, tuna, pork or simply eggs work best for this recipe.
**We used stem parts, which provide a yummy texture, as well as a great way to use up those leftovers.
***Optional: you can also add diced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, and canned corn for some natural sweetness.
****For this recipe you can use any type of rice. We love the sushi rice. You can under-cook it a little, because it is later exposed to additional heat during the frying part.
