orange chicken and fried rice

Last night I made this super easy orange chicken. Super easy like all you do is dump it out of the bag, bake it, then pour the sauce over it. haha It is from Costco, and it's pretty good! I did have to actually make the rice though... here is the recipe:

3 cups cooked rice, cooled (I used white, but brown would be healthier!)
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup frozen veggies, thawed (whatever you have, I used a mix of peas, carrots, corn and edamame)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons water

-Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in large skillet, then scramble the eggs, until just done. Don't over-cook.

-Add the veggies, rice and remaining oil and cook for about 5 minutes. (Don't worry if it get dry and crispy, thats good!)

-Mix the soy sauce and water together in a small bowl and pour over the rice.

-Cook, stirring occasionally until the moisture is absorbed. (about 5 more minutes)

-Season with salt and pepper to taste!

You can really add whatever you want to this, leftover chicken or beef, onions, whatever you feel like!
