Last night, I was soooo organised and made a really nice lunch to take out to a friend's house today. I shook off any potential food-snobbery and tried out some frozen cooked rice for the first time. I was not disappointed; it allowed me to assemble this rice salad easily and in next to no time at all. You just weigh out the required rice, pop it in a basin with a little water and microwave ever so briefly. Because I wanted it cold, for a salad, I cooled it fast by putting it in a sieve and running it under the cold tap.
Coronation Chicken Rice Salad225g frozen rice, 'cooked' and cooled (and see above)2-3 tbsp mayonnaise1 tsp curry paste100g cooked chicken50g sultanas1-2 tbsp chopped chiveswatercress, to serve
Combine the mayo, curry paste and about 50ml water to make a creamy curried dressing. Mix in the rice, then stir in the chicken, sultanas and chives. Serve on a bed of watercress for the full 'coronation chicken' experience...
Ooh, it was lovely - might have to have a repeat performance soon!

Never tried frozen rice before. Might have to give it a try on your recommendation!
Mmm, I was surprised - don't know how good it would be 'plain' as a side, but for this it was ace! Going to try it for egg-fried rice soon, too...
