Healthy plate on a budget.

Everything feels so stretched these days and never more so with the food budget.  Food prices have gone through major hikes in recent times.  So how do we continue to make healthy choices when our incomes remain the same but food prices increase?
 
Each month I will include a recipe for a Healthy plate on a budget!
 
Sometimes you have enough in your fridge already but need a little help to see how to bring it together.
 
This month I’m going on a fridge raid.  That is my whatever’s in the fridge fried rice, the everything but the kitchen sink of dishes.

• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cup rice/quinoa/millet – cooked and cold

Method

• Add ½ the oil to a wok and heat on medium-high heat

• Add the veggies and continue stir-frying for 5 minutes
• Add the protein and stir fry for another 3 minutes
• Add the rice/quinoa/millet and stir fry for  further 4 minutes (all the grains should be separated and no longer clumped together
• Push the contents of the wok to one side, add the remaining oils and crack the 2 eggs into the wok.
