You’ve noticed that a packet of sauce in your cupboard is in danger of becoming obsolete overnight: whatta ya do? If you’re anything like Tooty the Chef, you’ll smile with eagerness…
…coz that means you can use up that freezer-burnt fish in the bottom drawer, and those floppy veggies in the fridge…
In this case Il Maestro placed some equally ancient American long grain rice in the rice cooker…
…and steamed the rest on top. Then, following the customary ‘ding’ from the rice cooker to indicate that it had done it’s thing, it was simply a case of mixing up the fish sauce with milk; boiling it stupid; then pouring it over the rice / veggies / fish combo. The result? Well the result was so good that it got eaten before the camera came out of the bag!
PS If you don’t have a rice cooker – get one!
