SPICY FRIED RICE BOWL 🍚🥢

POV: It’s Sunday and you need to clean out the refrigerator to avoid food waste (guilt) by prepping a meal using leftovers. This quick and easy bowl of spicy fried rice is a great solution!

STEP ONE: Prep the rice in a skillet over high heat
+ Coconut aminos & garlic - heated for 30s
+ Instant brown or Jasmine rice - add in and spread it out—let it sit for a bit to crisp slightly before stirring
+ Leftover protein (rotisserie chicken) - stir in to heat for 3-4 minutes

STEP TWO: Mix in veggies
+ Raw veggies - I used neutral flavored purple carrots & radish for their crunch 🥕🫜

STEP THREE: Top the rice
+ Spicy aioli
+ Sesame seeds - black and white
+ Scallions, chopped
+ Egg - you can fry it in with the rice or top it with an egg made your way

Ready in under 20 minutes, tastes incredible, and it’s healthy? Let’s get cooking! taken in Chicago, Illinois by @livingwithashley

QUICK WEEKDAY LUNCH HACKS 🍽️

No gatekeeping from one wfh mom to anyone who is busy Monday-Friday.

Make weekday lunches easy with these hacks:
+ Buy pre-marinated or premade proteins (Chicagoans- did you know some @marianosmarket locations will prep your proteins while you shop?)
+ Use a combination of fresh raw veggies and leftover cooked veggies from dinner the night before
+ Have quick whole grain packets like brown rice, quinoa, et al on-hand
+ Premade healthy condiments make the meal

This bowl is prepped and served in less than 10 minutes, is high-protein, full of flavor, keeps me full until dinner, and is easy as 1-2-3.
