To buy
- 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy
- 1 lime
From your shelf
- 1 package (about 200g) organic asian-style brown rice & quinoa blend
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 eggs
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Open the package of rice and quinoa blend and add it all to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Toast for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and heated through.
- Push the rice mixture to the sides of the pan and add 1 tablespoon oil to the center. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and cook until the whites set but yolks stay runny, about 3 minutes, seasoning the eggs with salt and pepper as they cook.
- While the eggs cook, chop 2 cups fresh spinach or bok choy into bite-sized pieces. When the eggs are done, toss the greens into the rice and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Divide between two bowls. Squeeze juice from half a lime over each bowl and serve at once.
Note Swap fresh greens for frozen broccoli if that's what you have. Leftovers keep in the fridge for two days cold or reheated in a pan. Serve with hot sauce or sriracha, or with a small side of pickled vegetables.
