Je ne regrette pas d'avoir essayé cette recette, mais d'autres sont beaucoup plus intéressantes à faire. Je la mets donc de côté

Combien font 316g de riz cuit cru ? Je n'aime pas les recettes partant d'ingrédients déjà cuits. On ne sait jamais combien en faire et ça crée soit du gâchis, soit trop peu de nourriture

Thanks for the feedback, Marguerite! We totally get that starting with cooked ingredients can be tricky. This recipe works best with day-old rice to help use up leftovers, but we appreciate the perspective to keep in mind for future recipes 😊
As a general guide, 1 cup (185g) of raw rice yields about 3 cups (555g) of cooked rice, so you’d need roughly 105g of raw rice for 316g cooked.

Thank you very much for you're answer 🙏✨

I used green beans, the rice is delicious❤️❤️
Cherie - Oct. 14, 2024, 12:25 a.m.
Could this work with quinoa, buckwheat or cous cous please? It sounds delicious but I get ill if I eat rice.
PUL Team - Oct. 14, 2024, 8:28 p.m.
Hey Cherie, yup you can substitute quinoa, buckwheat, or couscous for the rice in this recipe! Just be sure to cook them separately and adjust the cooking time as needed when mixing them with the veggies and spices. You can also add more spices to taste based on how you like the result 🤗
Cherie - Oct. 15, 2024, 1:19 p.m.
Thanks for your quick reply. I look forward to trying it with any of the rice substitutes.
Crina-Adriana - Jan. 12, 2025, 2:29 p.m.
Good ideea, i will try with cous cous too😍😍

really quick, if you have the cooked rice around 😊 added around 400g tofu to pump up the protein and this was two portions for me and my boyfriend as a main. the 4 mins for the carrots is exactly how i like them 😋

So simple, yet so delicious! Hits the take away spot but so much healthier :) I added chopped Kohlrabi, celery stalks, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and sweet corn for my veggie crazy family and topped it off with some lemon juice and coconut yoghurt. Happy, happy.
