I cook so infrequently that I actually feel a great and deep sense of accomplishment on occasions I have managed to cook for two days in a row. So imagine my sense of pride when I realised this is my 8th straight day of cooking regularly. And that means - 1) I've been eating right, 2) I've been sleeping well and 3) I've been spending less. Yay!
As they say, "success breeds success" and I am so encouraged by these positive changes that I want hope it leads to a lifestyle change! Anyway, this morning my lunch options were last night's dal chawal or bread omelette. Craving for something interesting, I decided to put the leftover rice to use, made super yummy prawn fried rice in less than 20 minutes and skipped off to work. The contents of my lunch box helped me smile through what would have been a morning full of grimaces!
Ingredients
- Boiled rice, fluffed
- 1/2 big capsicum cut in cubes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 spoon olive oil
- 6-7 peeled prawns, defrosted if frozen
- Salt
- Pepper
- Soya sauce
Prep
Heat the oil for a minute or so on a low flame
On a medium flame, add diced onions and cook till slightly translucent, stir frequently
Add the capsicum and while stirring frequently, make sure it cooks through while staying slightly crunchy
Add the defrosted prawns and mix well
Add salt and pepper as per your liking
Once prawns are cooked (they cook real fast), add the rice and mix very well
Once every grain seems coated with the oil and seasoning, top off with soya sauce
Mix well and, serve. Or in my case, pack!
Happy, skippy lunch is ready to go :)
Morning rush = no pictures. The only picture was sneaked in under the rather bemused expression of my senior colleague!
What was in your lunch box today? Let me know and I'll try it :)
