The same recipe with the swap made.

SNAP EBT Every ingredient in the cart was listed as SNAP EBT eligible on Amazon when we last checked. Amazon decides at checkout.

From the grocery store

3 eggs. Any store, on the way home. Not in the cart button; we do not sell eggs.

From your kitchen

a big pan, oil, a spatula, salt.

What to do

  1. Pan hot, oil in. Scramble the eggs hard and fast. Out onto a plate.
  2. More oil. Garlic and onion powder for 20 seconds, then the rice. Press it flat, let it sit and sizzle for a minute, then turn it. That is where the crispy bits come from.
  3. Vegetables in. Teriyaki over. Toss until it all looks the same colour.
  4. Eggs back in, broken up. Salt. Eat it out of the pan; we will not tell anyone.

a pot, two bowls, a fork or chopsticks, your call.

What to do

  1. Three cups of water in the pot, boiling. Noodles and both seasoning packets in. The garlic too.
  2. Three minutes. Add the drained vegetables for the last one.
  3. Into bowls. Splash of soy. If there is an egg in your fridge, crack it into the pot at step two; if not, this is still dinner.
