Chicken fried rice:
I buy however many chicken thighs I need (they are pretty cheap in my opinion too). Marinade the chicken in 1/3 cup soy sause, 1/3 cup sweet tai chili sause and a pinch of pepper for 3 hours. Then cook them on 425 for 15 min skin side down and then flip and cook for another 15 min. In your pan add chopped onion and garlic. Scramble an egg or two depending on preference into the pan as well. Add your cooked rice, (I cook mine in the microwave but you can do it however you like). Add frozen bag mixed veggies. I usually buy the peas and carrots. I microwave for a few minutes so they are not frozen. After combining in the pan I add 3 tablespoons of soy sause, sometimes I add more if it looks to light in color. It is easy, cheap and delicious!

the simplest most exquisite cheap but expensive meal I make literally at least once a week is plain ole white rice, spam, and egg. Just pepper for seasoning cuz spam is pretty salty on its own. Just cut into slices, fry the spam a bit on each side and throw some whisked eggs when the spam is almost “cooked” to liking. And serve all together. Personally I add some ketchup but my bf hates it so up to you.

I make a homemade fried rice. I pair it with whatever meat we are having. It is easy. Scramble a couple of eggs. Add cooked rice, 1/2 a bag of mixed vegetables, add your cooked meat of choice (we like chicken, shrimp or pork) and a little soy sauce (to taste). Heat until the vegetables are hot. You can also pre cook the vegetables.

I grew up eating Super Rice which is just rice cooked in whatever "cream of something" soup you like. My mom made it with cream of mushroom but I like to make it with cream of celery. Hope this helps!
