Let’s get cookin’!
Boil/warm up rice! This recipe tastes the best if you use rice from the nigh before. However, you can also cook your rice on the spot if needed! If using day-old rice, add a small amount of oil to a pan and add your rice. Warm on low while you work on the next step. If making new rice, cook according to the package’s instructions (will vary depending on brand!)
Cook your veg! While your rice is boiling/warming up, add water to a small pot and bring to a boil. Then, add your frozen vegetables and boil for about 10 minutes or until they are fully cooked and soft.
Combine! If you boiled your rice, you just have one extra step; transfer your rice to a pan with a drizzle of oil. Otherwise, drain your vegetables and add to the pan. Then, add your soy sauce and mix until combined. Then, add an egg and mix into the dish until scrambled. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy! Once you have everything mixed together and seasoned, plate up and enjoy! Great work :)
