Tilapia Porridge

Oh no!!! Don’t let your leftover rice go to waste!!! Economy is bad, tossing the food away = tossing your $$ away. Went out to eat with my sis’ family yesterday, I didn’t mean to be ECONOMICAL, but I TOGO the leftover rice that was included with our entrees.  Here’s an easy recipe to turn your plain leftover rice into an awesome new meal!!!

Ingredients:

* 1 cup of leftover rice

* 3 cups of water (or if you like thinner soup style, use 4 cups of water)

* ¼ cup of ginger; julienne

* 2 tablespoons of sesame oil

* 1 piece of tilapia fillet; cut into bite size

* 1 scallion (optional); chopped

Direction

* Heat sesame oil in a small skillet and add in the ginger over medium heat, until aromatic.

* place the rice and water in a medium pot over high heat and bring to boil; add in the ginger.

* reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

* add the tilapia fillet into the rice mixture; cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
