- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cups of cooked rice

Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Don’t want any spice? Skip the red pepper flakes.
Day old rice works perfectly for this meal, but if you can’t do that, cooled rice works fine too.
