One Pot Meal: Easy Fried Rice

Yellow peeps!! I come up with another One Pot Meal or should I call it One Pan Meal instead? On a fine Sunday morning, I woke up feeling Today, I would be moving out to my flat away from my family (my brother, in-law and my 2 nieces) just because I am about starting my new job in a new company. Honestly, I am very excited about this opportunity, the this is I never thought I would be this nervous thinking of moving out and live on my own. I have been staying with my brother and his family for the last 6 years, so… It would be a huge changes in my routines. The good thing is, there would be less arguments. I often argue with my niece, the older ones. Seems we have that aunty-niece rivalry. I do love her so much as much as the little ones, but she is just the copy of me. I am positive about it.

One Pan Meal: Easy Fried Rice

Alright, let me go back to my One Pan Meal. Living alone means I have to take care of my self from day to day meals and other stuff. It’s easy I can order food and get food deliver to my place which means I will break my effort to eat clean. I still eat Mc Donald’s once in awhile or having my cheese cake and a cup of cafe latte from Starbucks but this is not something I want to eat on daily basis. If I order my meals from those healthy vegan and raw restaurants, I can, I mean I can be broke. Not a wise choice, isn’t it. Also I like some particular flavours that others may not get used to it and I am afraid they don’t cook it this way or that way. Aha! You’re reading another part of me. I can’t really say that I don’t like fatty and oily food since I eat pork fats. I can not say I do not eat spicy either as I do eat spicy sometimes although from scale 1-10, I am 3 max. It really depends on my mood. I can crave for spicy food sometimes and the other times I may skip everything spicy. This is why I need to find a way to cook simple. I can not go full board like I am used to do at home.

So, this one pan meal is inspired from a cooking show that I do not even remember the name. (I am sorry). In the original recipe, the chef used rice cooker to cook this fried rice. I go from HMM… to AHA! Since I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker, I took the non-stick pan and gave it a shot! This is the first attempt and I can not say it is perfect, I guess I need 2 or 3 more trials to get the rice cooked right. I needed to add another cup of hot water on the process because the rice was not done yet. And what will you need? A pan!! LOL!!!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Round grain rice
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion flake (I used Jay’s minced onion)
  • Sugar, salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 small stalks Bok Choy (or other greens)
  • 2 pcs smoked beef
  • 1.5 cups water
  • Tomato (I used 1/4 part)

How to:

  1. Place rice, smoked beef, bok choy and the rest of the seasonings in the pan. Pour water and turn the heat on medium low heat. Cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Check on the water, if you need to add more water, please add it little by little.
  2. Once it is cooked, mixed everything well. Serve it hot.

I made a single portion as I am eating alone. So sad! Would you like to try? We can different ingredients too to make it more colourful and extravagant. Despite it is cooked in a pan as one pan meal, doesn’t mean it’s that poor. Am I right? I will continue packing up my stuff. It’s about time to get going. See you peeps!

xxLovexx
