Shitty fried rice. A lil wet from frozen veg and onion and the sauce mix wasnt super good either. It was just like a lb of chicken, a bag of stir fry mix (carr, snap pea, water chestnut, brocc), rice and egg on top. It wasnt super filling, def shouldve added a bag of peas or smthn additional veg

Bad sauce Do Not Use, a lil too sweet and not salty/flavorful enoguh. Mirin was prob a mistake. Maybe more garlic as well. Rly need to hunt down swueeze ginger

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tb rice wine vinegar

1 tbh sweet mirin

1 tsp sesame oil

Was worried this would be too bland but it was actually p good (a tad bland cuz frozen veg but not much worse than a mediocre cicken siup) and it took exactly 30 minutes to make INCLUDING chopping the onion. I could def throw some parm on top or eggs for more fillingness if needed. Also could do this w different spices/stock for variation. Banger meal

Okay so ingredience

1 15 oz can chickpeas

1 bag garden duo mix

1.5-2 c of chicken stock (i used bouillon cubes, 1.5 of em)

1 medium/smallish yellow onion

Jar minced garlic, then optionally italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder

Prep: chop onion that’s it

Cooking

Add onion+ garlic cook 3 or so mins til transluscent or whatever

Add pre-microwaved garden garden duo mix, chickpeas, any spices. (I added my spices afterwards coz i thiught the stock would be tastu enough but i had to use sxtra water so i needed more flavor)

Cook 5-7 min to get excess water out and heat and cook blah blah

Add stock + couscous, bring to a boil, cover and let sit for 5-10 mins til couscous is cooked

Optionally now taste and add more seasoning as needed, butter, etc

Was v yummy and took only 30 minutes total incl onion choppage. It wasnt the most filling thing ever so i ate it with two eggs and some parm cheese mixed in. Gonna try a variation next week w tonato sauce

I also think it was better the bext day as it did end up a lil watery from the frozen veg and stuff
