Dan's Asian Rice

This delicious rice dish, created by my son, goes great with many Asian inspired dishes. I especially like it with my recipe for Linda's Asian Salmon. You can cut the recipe in half for 2 people without any problems. I have made this for 2 people and use 1 tsp. chili paste. It is spicy, but not "Real Hot". This rice has lots of flavor! I served with Sweet Soy Sauce Drizzled over the top of the rice as shown in my picture. Preparation time DOES NOT include time to cook rice.
