A cozy tomato fried rice recipe, perfect for a night in!
I was browsing Delish for a new recipe a few days ago when I came across the neatest recipe I've seen in some time! I have never heard or even thought about the idea of Pizza Rice before seeing it on Delish. It's such a neat idea. It is essentially the same as pizza but with a different foundational carb, rice instead of bread.
I really like that this recipe has such a quick prep time and includes everything I would enjoy from conventional pizza. I can mix and match any kind of toppings or cheese as well. Brilliant!
