Fried Rice with Brussels Sprouts
The rice should be cooked in advance – but that could be 5 minutes or a day. I usually chose 5 minutes.

Notes
The brown Basmati I use cooks in the same amount of time as regular Basmati…. which you can use if you prefer.
I used both white and black sesame seeds – just for fun.
