Chicken’n stars rice
An easy and fast family dinner shines with starfruit. This recipe is really about the starfruit sauce that's flexible enough to be added to noodles or rice. It also works as a topping for meat or poultry. This recipe takes advantage of packages of microwave rice and precooked chicken to save you time.
Once tried, you'll make it your own recipe, adding whatever veggies are in the house. But I'm betting you'll always add the starfruit, as it makes the dish shine.
