Saturday Dinner

Tonight I cubed boneless thighs ($1.97/lb at HT this week) and marinated in teriyaki sauce for several hours. I stir-fried them in a little hot oil, then stirred in a little Mr. Yoshida's sauce at the very end. I served this over white rice with steam-in-the-bag broccoli on the side. The broccoli was tossed with a little soy sauce and a drop of sesame oil just before serving.

Totals:

$1.97 - chicken
$1.25 - broccoli (on sale for 4/$5)
.30 - rice

Dinner for 3 - $3.52


The microwave is the perfect cooking method for rice - you'll never deal with a burnt, sticky pan of rice again. No need to spend extra $$ for boil-in-bag or converted rice.

In a glass or ceramic casserole dish with a lid, pour in 1 cup plain white rice, a pinch of salt, and a scant 2 cups of water. Cover and microwave on high for 6 minutes, then at 50% power for 18 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Now just fluff with a fork and toss with butter and salt, if desired.
