Rice with Mixed Vegetables
This is a good way to use leftover rice, particularly brown rice, which does not get as soggy as white rice. You may use almost any combination of vegetables — such as turnip, bell peppers, cooked corn, fresh mushrooms, chopped cabbage, diced squash — to prepare this dish, and it may stand alone as a meal. This is a typical example of the pragmatic spirit of Asian homestyle cooking, which always regards leftovers as the foundation of another good meal.
