NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE
Rice - Depending on how my week is going, I like to make the rice a day ahead so this comes together even faster! However, if making it on the day of, I'll get the rice cooking in my rice cooker while I am preparing the rest of dinner. Once the rice is done, the rest of it, and my other meal items, come together perfectly!
