Sounds yummy! But how much brown rice is “2 Bags of Success Brown Rice”? I have brown rice in the cab already.
Hi Kerry,
Success brown rice bags contain about 2 cups per bag (cooked rice). So you could substitute any brown rice equivalent to approximately 4 cups of cooked rice.
Let me know how it turns out…enjoy!
