Notes
• Product substitutions – The brand of rice used in this recipe is found in most major grocery store chains. If you cannot find it in your local grocery store and do not want to order it online, you can use regular rice and just season with your preferred seasoning. But I assure you, this rice brings a lot of great flavor and it’s worth using. Also, feel free to use any color bell pepper and any color onion that you prefer or have access to.
• For even distribution of meals among meal containers, you can either estimate the portions, or weigh the entire batch, and divide that number by your number of meal containers. This recipe makes six meals, so it would be the total weight, divided by six. That will be your portion size per meal.
• If storing for meal prep, place into freezer safe meal containers, and place in the freezer for freshness. Take the meal out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator the night before to let the meal thaw out.
