Cook this recipe
- microwave white rice cups-8 5/6 oz
- canned black beans-1 can
- frozen peas-1/2 cup
- shredded carrots-1/2 cup
- water-2 tablespoons
- low-sodium soy sauce-1 tablespoon
- canola oil-2 teaspoons
- garlic powder-1/4 teaspoon
- onion powder-1/4 teaspoon
Rinse and drain the beans, then combine them with fully cooked rice, peas and carrots in a roomy microwave-safe bowl. Leave space for stirring and bubbling; cook in batches if needed.
Stir in the soy sauce, canola oil, water, garlic powder and onion powder until evenly coated.
Cover loosely with a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until the mixture begins to steam. Start with 2 minutes; total time varies with the microwave and batch size.
Use only microwave-safe bowls and plates for this step.
Microwave for 1 minute at a time, stirring thoroughly between intervals, until the mixture is steaming hot throughout and the peas are fully cooked according to their package directions.
The bowl and steam will be hot; lift the cover away from your face and hands.
Rest for at least 1 minute, stir, then portion and let cool enough to eat safely. Follow any longer standing time on the pea package. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
Check that the mixture is warm throughout and let portions cool slightly before serving to younger children.
