SPICY ORIENTAL ORZO

Spicy Oriental Orzo image

I needed a side dish to go with some wild-caught salmon I'd marinated in a teriyaki sauce, and found some whole-wheat orzo pasta in the pantry. I threw this together, and WOW! Add some braised spinach or kale, a fresh fruit, and what a nutritious dinner you'll serve!
