Join the discussion“…the mixture of rice, lime juice, and veggies…”There’s no lime juice mentioned in the ingredients. How much is needed?
Oops, can’t believe I left out the lime juice! I’m updating the recipe now but 2 teaspoons of lime juice.
Thanks!
How many servings does this make? How many calories per serving?
It is 6 servings. We don’t break down calories on Traditional recipes but you could do the math with an online calculator such as http://caloriecount.about.com/….
Thank you!
Is that 3 cups of cooked rice, or 3 cups of rice (raw then cooked)? I’m thinking it’s 3 cups of cooked rice.
Hi Michelle, yes it is cooked rice. I’ll go clarify. Thanks!
I 4hink thie sounds amazing and am making it for a get together…. how do you determine the akount of rice before it is cooked
It is a 1:2 ratio. Meaning if you need 3 cups of cooked rice, then you would start with 1.5 cups of uncooked rice.
Thank you! I thought so but wanted to make sure
This was delicious, but after freezing and thawing it tasted awful. Super dry. Did yours turn out this way?
It didn’t. If you still have some frozen, you might try to add a little more olive oil and lime juice once it defrosts. Let me know if that helps.
