Seasoned Rice Mix - Ready to Cook

Make your own mixes and keep them in baggies ready to cook. This is a little healthier than store-bought flavoured rice packets. All you have to do is add a bit of butter. Use veggie powder and a dairy-free butter or olive oil to veganize this recipe.

For the Rice Mix
  • 1 cup basmati rice
