I love to mix rice, spelt berries or quinoa with lettuce of any kind to keep the raw food part high. This recipe is also amazing when served as a salad the next day. In this case, I use more fresh arugula, spinach, lettuce, kale… and combine it with the leftover fried rice, some drizzle of olive oil on top and I am ready to go.
