1. I used left over brown rice that was refrigerated if you don’t have it ready Cook the rice and let it cool down afterwards. Once the rice has cooled down, transfer it from the cooking pot into a bowl and put it in the fridge to sit over night.
2. Add the chopped garlic, onion, green chili and diced carrots to a non-stick frying pan. Cook them over high heat for 2-3 minutes and add 1 tablespoon of almond butter,this will melt when it touches the hot pan,and give nice taste and aroma. We can make with out almond butter too!
3. Add bell peppers and green peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and add the sauce mix and let it cook for a minute.
4. Add the rice and Stir it in properly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the rice is hot. Do not overcook the rice.
