I love stir-fry but it’s difficult to find a delicious, healthy, fresh stir-fry in restaurants. Making it at home is my solution – then it’s seasoned just the way I like it. Now, Minute Rice has made it easy to make stir-fry at home! With just four ingredients and taking only five minutes (prep and cook time!), dinner is on the table.
You’re probably thinking, “How could prep and cook time be only 5 minutes? What about chopping the vegetables, what about cooking the chicken, what about cooking the rice?” Stay with me and prepare to be surprised!
Minute Rice has a new variation on their traditional boil-to-cook rice that is already cooked! Minute® Ready to Serve Rice comes in an easy to open cup, you just peel off the top and stir it into your recipe. Easy-peasey. It comes in several types:
- Whole Grain Brown Rice
- Brown and Wild Rice
- Multi-Grain Medley
- White Rice
- Jasmine Rice
- Chicken Rice Mix
- Italian Rice Mix
- Spanish Rice Mix
- Yellow Rice Mix
- Pilaf Rice Mix
I chose the Whole Grain Brown Rice for my recipe. It’s a healthy way to get whole grains into your diet and I love the flavor and texture of brown rice. When I went to the grocery store, I looked in the fresh vegetable section for Asian vegetables and found a beautiful bag but the price almost knocked me over – $9.99. Just another reason to look forward to summer! I passed it by and headed to the frozen vegetables. I also picked up some diced chicken (fully cooked) and soy sauce – just four ingredients and done.
Ingredients
Minute® Ready to Serve Fully Cooked Whole Grain Brown Rice
Frozen Asian Vegetables
Fully Cooked Diced Chicken
Soy Sauce
Directions
Combine ingredients in a wok, cooking the frozen vegetables first, then add chicken and rice. Season with soy sauce, to taste. When steam begins rising from wok, meal is ready. Enjoy!
This makes a delicious, easy, and healthy meal for your family. Lots of colorful vegetables provide vitamins and fiber. Whole grain rice and low-fat chicken protein complete the healthy combination. I used my Calphalon non-stick wok, so I didn’t add any fats or oils and clean-up was as easy as the meal.
Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is an ideal portable solution for lunch or breakfast because you can eat it on the go, straight from the cup. In just 60 seconds, you have fully cooked rice for any meal or snack. You’ll never get bored with your lunch since there are 10 flavorful and wholesome varieties. If you’re looking for a healthy option, Minute® Ready to Serve Rice provides easy portion control since it’s conveniently packaged in two individual single-serve cups.
