🥗Healthier: smoked tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Smoked tofu provides a similar texture with less fat.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot to sauté the vegetables.

Add 1 small chopped onion, 1 piece of chopped bell pepper, and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pot and sauté until well cooked.

Add approximately 150 g of cooked meat (roasted) to the pot and sauté for about 1 minute.

Stir in 1.5 cups of washed parboiled rice into the pot.

Add 2 cups of cooked green beans to the rice.

Pour in 1 cup of bean broth and 2 cups of water into the mixture.

Season with approximately 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 tablespoon of seasoning for rice and chicken.

Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and let it cook until the water has evaporated.

Once the water has evaporated and the rice starts to crackle, turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
