Add some basil pesto, a chopped spring onionand some grated parmesan. if it's a bit dry, add a little olive oil. I've made it with raosted capsicum and garlic pesto too, with great results.

I use it for a rice risotto & some salalds, really nice! Orzo, Sun Dried Tomato & Hazelnut Salad Dressing: 2 tsp minced garlic ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts ¼ cup tightly packed Italian parsley leaves (could try basil) 2 tabs white wine vinegar ¼ cup oil 1 tab brown sugar Place all ingreds into a processor & blend until it forms a paste. 8-10 sundried tomato pieces ¼ cup black olives, halved 1 cup orzo pasta 70gr feta, crumbled ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts whole Sea salt & freshly ground pepper Cook orzo then drain, rinse & set aside to cool. Place orzo pasta, tomatoes, olives, hazelnuts & feta into a bowl. Add dressing & fold through lightly to combine. Just before serving sprinkle over chopped hazelnuts, rock salt & freshly ground pepper.
And Chicken Risotto: 1 med onion thinly sliced 2 tsp minced garlic 1½ cups risoni pasta 1 tsp smoked paprika ½ cup white wine 2 cups chicken stock 1 small green capsicum finely chopped 2 tabs chopped parsely oil seasonings In an electric frypan brown onion & garlic with about 1 tab oil. Stir in pasta & paprika. Add wine boiling till evaporated (at med heat) Stir in stock. Cover with lid & cook for about 15 mins till tender. If liquid is evaporating too quickly turn down the heat a little & add a bit more water or wine (& one for the cook!)Add capsicum & chopped chicken(make sure the chicken is not too big) keep moving so chicken cooks evenly on all sides. (about 5-7 mins) Sprinkle with some parsley & a little grated parmesan if you want to.

I add it to soup and use it some recipes that say rice. More Creole recipes than asian I have to say though.

There is a beetroot, orzo and feta salad recipe on the healthy food guide's website (google it).Seriously yummy, although I'd make it with fresh beetroot rather than tinned.
