Photo may be seen here (in Savor): www.annacia.com. This is really delicious and made with black rice it's a stunner on the table. I love the way that the sweet and savory mingle and become and addicting taste that keeps on pulling you back to take another bite. It's also very satisfying I made a single serving (using 1/4 cup of rice) and it made a filling meal for me. I have more of everything and this will be made again!
