Jeweled Seafood Rice
A perfect compliment to grilled seafood or meat, this colourful and delicious fried rice dish is given a health infusion with brown rice. Cooked rice used in preparing fried rice is best when prepared a day in advance and refrigerated.

In a large heavy saucepan, combine rice, water and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the rice from the heat and spread it on a large tray to cool quickly at room temperature.
