Revamping Leftovers: Coconut Rice & Fish

Here's a simple 5-minute recipe for leftovers from the previous recipe. Leftovers are always fun when you transform them into a totally different dish!

The corn adds fiber, vitamins and iron, while the egg adds protein, vitamins and iron. (By the way: protein, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids are great for healthy hair and health in general.)

LEFTOVER COCONUT RICE & FISH
This takes about 5 minutes to make and is very comforting!

=Ingredients=
~1 c leftovers
1/2 c coconut milk or water
1/4 c frozen corn
1 egg
(Optional: Herb or spice of choice, like thyme, cayenne pepper or curry powder)

=Steps=
1. Place the leftovers and coconut milk/water in a pan and bring to a bubble. Stir to combine.
2. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Stir in the corn and cook 1 minute. (Optional: Add the herb/spice.)
4. Break an egg into the mix. With spoon or spatula*, mix the egg into the rest until combined.
5. Let it cook another 1-2 minutes, then spoon into a bowl. The mix will have a generally yellow complexion from the egg and corn.

Grate on some salt and pepper and enjoy!

*NON-STICK PANS: DO NOT use metal spatulas or other utensils on non-stick surfaces -- this will scrape off the non-stick coat and introduce carcinogens into your food! Also, don't put acidic ingredients like lemon juice, tomato, or vinegar into non-stick pans because they corrode the surface.
