Almost Instant Cheesy Baked Rice

One day, I ran out of idea what to cook for dinner..

I cooked some Japanese short grain rice, it's already very near to dinner time,

so this came into my mind...

Baked rice! It's actually very simple and fast to make...

Here's how i made mine...

1. Slice 250g swiss brown mushrooms.

2. Mince 4 cloves of garlic.

3. Sauteed garlic with 1 Tbsp of oil/butter in a pot.

4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook briefly.

5. Pour a can of Marks & Spencer minestrone soup and 2 of rice into the pot.

6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mix well. Remove from heat.

7. Spoon into 2 individual bake ware and top with cheese (preferably mozzarella).

8. Bake in 180 degrees preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes.

9. Top with chopped parsley before serving. 

Done!  =)  Isn't it easy to make?

It's a kind of comfort food for me!

I seldom indulge in cheesy stuffs...

My choice is Marks and Spencer canned minestrone soup because it's not so salty.

A virtual baked rice for all my readers! =p
