This one is pretty easy, and it is a lunch-time favourite for both of my boys. The fish comes from pre-packaged, multi-grain fillets (we prefer the Jane brand of these, but the HighLiner are good too) of haddock, available in your grocery store’s freezer. When choosing, look at the fat/serving and the sodium/serving. These numbers should be low to keep the lunch healthy.
Here’s what I do for the rice:
Ingredients
1/2 cup white, long-grain rice
1 cup water
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (make sure that your forzen veg are local! So many come from China)
1 tbsp powdered soup stock (I use the vegetarian chicken soup stock)
Method
- Put all ingredients into a small pot. Cook over high heat until pot comes to a boil. Remove lid, stir, replace lid and reduce heat to minimum for 20 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and serve.
Once the rice comes to a boil I put the fish in so that everything is ready at the same time. My kids will eat as much of this meal as I put on the table — it really is one of our favourites. Enjoy!
