  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day old
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

  2. Toss cooked rice with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the rice evenly on the baking sheet in a thin layer.

  • Store components separately if preparing ahead.
