To buy
- 1/2 cup [60 grams] panko breadcrumbs
From your shelf
- 1 bag cheddar cheese rice and broccoli
Staples
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup [40 grams] flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch pepper
- pinch cayenne
- Heat the bag of rice and broccoli in the microwave or on the stove according to package directions. While it heats, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat and stir in 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and turning golden, about three minutes.
- Spread the mixture on a plate to cool slightly. Divide the hot rice and broccoli between two bowls and top each with half the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
Note Swap panko for crushed crackers or crushed chips. Leftovers keep two days covered. Serve with hot sauce, pickled vegetables, or a simple green salad.
