Let's get a little adventurous this week and try to enhance our usual dishes with flavours from around the world!

Brothy rice with spiced chicken and thai aromatics

Dinner | Soups | Rice

Bringing variation into your daily meals is easy! All you need is a pinch of spice, an exotic herb or a new way to combine old ingredients. For example, this bowl is based on one of my childhood soups – chicken broth with shredded chicken, boiled rice, carrots and herbs. And just look how a bunch of Thai aromatics and a savory spice blend turned it into a completely different dish! This little trick is awesome for quick and flavourful makeovers – check out Week’s Specials from A Flavour Affair for more ideas and inspiration. Make this cheerful bowl for your next dinner and let me know what you think!
