LEMON RICE

#LemonRice :
I live in germany and am studying masters here. So I hardly have time to cook 3 times a day. So the trick is to cook once in a day and make a dish that stays fresh for a long time or can be reused...
so when I have rice left over I make lemon rice and u wont realize that it is made from leftovers...

Cooked Rice - 2 cups
mustard - 1 tsp
ground nuts - 2 tbsp
