Poached egg with spicy rice

This recipe makes no sense to me. Why would you use microwave rice then boil it? Surely just use normal rice

I didn't use pouch rice. I cooked dried rice separately and added to the other ingredients. I also used a dsp of curry paste instead of curry powder. I stirred it into the cooked onion and pepper mixture and heated it for a minute before adding the other ingredients then added flaked mackerel and some halved cherry tomatoes before topping with the poached egg. It was a enjoyable but a bit rich.

Nice idea for a quick meal, didn't use a pouch of rice I just cooked some dried rice seperately and mixed it into the veggies at the end, added mackerel as well and did the poached egg on top. Was tasty (especially with the runny egg going through it) and I'll definitely keep it in my folder for when I'm just cooking for myself and need something quick and nutritious.

This was absolutely delicious, the poached (runny egg) with the rice is just perfect. I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding garlic, a touch of fresh ginger, and a half a fresh chilli. i didn't use pouch rice but cooked my own rice. Added some soya sauce and spice for rice. My hubby who doesn't believe in eating no meat enjoyed this dish. WOW!!

This was ok but a bit flavourless, however for a quick and simple meal you can't go wrong! If I make it again I would definitely add mackeral as suggested. I did do the poached egg but don't think it's 100% necessary.

Quite a tasty dish and would make it again. Used a yellow pepper (instead of green) and Uncle Ben's 10 minutes wholegrain rice which took a little longer than 10 minutes to cook in the pan, simmering gently. Next time, will consider including tomatoes and mushrooms. Used vegetable stock instead of water and found I needed to add more than 200ml whilst the rice cooked properly.

I've just cooked this, using it as my food I take to work for tea. It was very easy, I didn't use the pouch of rice, I just half-cooked some rice seperate but added it at the same time. Also used yellow pepper and added some green beans that I had in the fridge (added them at the beginning). I also doubled the amounts (except the rice) which was very easy. Oh, and didn't do the poached egg It is quite nice, nothing special but is easily transported in some tubs to take to work!

Didn't think this had much flavour. Also, how can the fat content given above be correct, is this a misprint? Is it including the mackerel?

Very easy and really nice dish

There is a TIP on this page to marinate the chicken first - except there is no chicken in the recipe!
