soy and chilli mince
Ridiculously easy and done in no time. My soy and chilli mince with rice is ideal for those who want a quick yet flavoursome dinner. Plus, I even used microwave rice to save even more time…and washing up. You can obviously boil your rice, but just adjust your timings accordingly so it’s all ready at the same time.
Let’s face it, we’d all love to elaborate dinners every night but we’re busy, we’re tired and food is expensive. Sometimes we want something convenient, without resorting to a takeaway so this is what you need to make. It gives off takeaway vibes without the guilt and cost. And it will 100% be done quicker than the time it will take for that takeaway to be delivered.
If you want, you can throw in even more greens or veggies if you’ve got some of your 5-a-day left to hit, however it is delicious as is. I’ve added peppers, mushrooms, peas and more if I’ve got veggies that are getting perilously close to going off. I don’t like waste and recipes like this are super versatile and great for utilising stock cupboard and fridge ingredients.
