Step 1

Break apart your rice. I used leftover medium grain rice from the previous night.

Step 2

Heat a pan or wok with some oil. Saute the onion and then add in the garlic.

Step 3

Add vegetables and protein of choice and cook until tender. Add half of the basil and you can break this apart with your hands.

Step 4

I add the tomato last because I want to retain the chunks and not overcook the tomato.

Step 5

Add the leftover rice. Season your rice. Mix well and feel free to add more of the seasonings if needed.

Step 6

Add the rest of the basil and mix into the rice until wilted.

Step 7

Serve the rice and enjoy while hot. I like to stuff my rice into a bowl and then flip it over on a plate to create a dome shape.
