Rice + Frozen Veggies with Chili-Miso Sauce

Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rice (1 cup is enough if not very hungry)
• 300–400 g frozen vegetables (the "Royal" mix from the local store)
• 1 tbsp butter

Sauce

• 1 heaped tsp miso
• 2 tsp chili oil with peanuts
• a splash of water to thin it out

Method

1. Cook the rice.
2. Heat a frying pan until hot.
3. Add the frozen vegetables straight in – no sauce yet.
4. Cook until the water has evaporated. You'll notice the sizzling sound change and the vegetables start to brown.
5. Add the butter.
6. Let the vegetables brown properly (Maillard reaction). Stir roughly every 2 minutes, depending on how hot the pan is.
7. Add the sauce and let it cook for a moment.
8. Serve over the rice.
