Sidekick

I am a terrible cook, but we enjoy delicious meals with sidekicks! They are fast, convenient and easy to make. Have it as a side dish or eat is as a lunch meal, they are great.

I love Asian foods, and usually make them from scratch – this mix helps on nights where I just don’t have time and want a tasty meal.

It cooks up in less than 15 minutes from beginning to end, and I usually use a little bit less water than suggested (1-3/4 cup), and let it sit longer once the margarine is put in while I toss up some fresh chicken, mushrooms, green onions, broccoli, and tofu to mix in with the rice to make it a full meal!

It doesn’t taste totally Asian authentic, but definitely takes away the Asian food craving for the time being. I even add in some Asian spices to give it a bit more kick.

The sodium content is ok – at about 17% of my required daily intake, it’s a LOT less than most pre-packaged Asian cuisine meals.

This is a semi regular staple in our kitchen
