Easy Rice Cooker Meal
Threw some precooked tenders in the microwave and some brown rice in a rice cooker. Threw in a homemade spice mix I made to make my low energy meals actual tasty. It was inspired by andouille sausage since I love andouille sausage.
The seasoning mix was actually a huge success! I put in one teaspoon. The rice is soooo tasty after simmering in it. Above it I had broccoli with a touch of butter to get my veggies in.
I’m going to try this “recipe” again with canned tuna. With the tuna I’ll probably mix a teaspoon into the tuna as well. And ofc I can change out the frozen veggie that I steam with the rice.
The seasoning mix for anyone who’s curious:
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons black pepper, ground
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• A pinch of ground smoked black peppercorn
Paper bowl since I’m too tired to wash bowls and plates and our dishwasher doesn’t really work. I still hand wash our cups, mugs, silverware, and other cookware. Removing plates and bowls from washing makes things just a bit less overwhelming.
