It’s Thirsty Thursday, and I’m craving something quick to prepare. It’s been a long time since I made a fragrant, tangy Lime Rice, so I decided today was the perfect day to try it out. Like my other recipes, this one has a twist—I added prawns and chicken to make it more nutritious and satisfying. My recent gym sessions are intense, so I need enough protein and carbs to energise me. This recipe was also inspired by my son’s desire to combine carbs with adequate protein for a balanced meal. The final dish was incredibly delicious, enhanced with umami flavours from Seaweed Sauce. Just a generous portion of plain, cold rice is all you need to turn this into a culinary delight.
