Cold Rice Salad

Cold Rice Salad

We’ve been cooking quite a few Asian recipes recently and no matter how well we measure Rice we often end up with some left over. Last night was quite hot and humid and we fancied something quick and light for dinner. We already had various dips and sauces we’d made and popped in the fridge along with some home made Coleslaw. So we just cobbled a bit of a colCold Rice Saladd buffet gig together.

Ingredients:-

Cold cooked Rice
Thick sliced Chorizo, fried drained and cooled
Cubed Cheese
5 Spring Onions, sliced
A dash of Soy Sauce
Mayonnaise

Method:-

(1) Mix everything together.
(2) Serve!

The cubed Cheese was £0.60 thanks to the Yellow Sticker fridge and the bit of Chorizo cost, maybe, £0.60 as well. Everything else we had in, so we certainly didn’t break the bank last night!
