Hello and welcome!
Today's recipe was one of my dinners while on Spring Break in Atlanta :)
The Recipe:
- Rice
- Rice vinegar
- Tofu
- Chicken (pre-baked)
- Vegetable Oil
The Process:
- Boil enough water to fill an inch and a half of a small pot.
- Cook about 1/2 cup jasmine rice in the pot.
- When the rice is about halfway done, add a couple tablespoons of rice vinegar.
- Saute chicken and tofu in a pan on medium heat.
- Add rice to the pan and continue to heat.
- Add teriyaki sauce to the pan and continue to heat and mix.
- After about 2 minutes from the time the rice was added to the pan, it should be done. Be sure everything is cooked to desired amounts.
- Enjoy!

For under 500 calories, I got an entire pan of delicious protein and rice!
What went right:
It was quite delicious and light, but also satisfying.
What went wrong:
I didn't have any vegetables to add this time, but it worked out anyway.
What I would do next time:
Combine the vegetable and chicken recipes.
Would I do this again in college?:
For sure. I love fried rice and it's really easy to make. I can see it becoming a staple of my diet next year when Emmy and I have our own kitchen :)
Overall, a great meal with a short cook time, perfect for college life!
