Am I the only one who makes a huge amount of rice when I make dinner? Like way too much rice for one family to eat and then let it sit in the fridge for a week? This happens a lot, clearly, and sometimes I get bored with making fried rice with the leftovers, or eating it with chicken and gravy.
This rice that I had leftover was some purple jasmine rice. It was purple for the mere fact that some of the grains in the original bag were purple and turned the whole batch a pretty deep plum color when it boiled. And it was tasty as all hell. We made the rice to eat with some lamb kabobs, and made way too much.
So I thought, what could I make with this weird purple rice? It was a fragrant jasmine rice, so we didn't flavor it with anything, so it was open to both savory and sweet options.
Hmm, sweet?
