Parboiled and wild rice blend

Our editorial staff's favorite category of transforming dishes. The recipe was impromptu invented by the editorial staff's chef and mentor of the School of "Food" Masha Matusova to feed the editorial staff after filming. As a result, everyone liked it so much that it itself got into the content of "Food" and, we hope, into your recipe collection. There can be many transformations here: salmon can be replaced, for example, with cod or even with chicken, which will also go well with coconut. Instead of champignons , you can put oyster mushrooms, shiitake or any other Asian mushrooms in the pan. But we advise leaving the rice in the recipe - it gives the soup a distinct Asian accent and smooths out all the tastes of different ingredients.
