Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked seasoned rice $0.11
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach $0.16
1/2 Tbsp butter $0.08
1 large egg $0.21
pinch of salt and pepper $0.03
splash of hot sauce $0.05

Instructions

Place one inch of water in a small sauce pan. Bring it up to a boil over high heat with the lid on top. Once it reaches a full boil, add the egg in the pot, replace the lid, and let boil/steam in the shallow water for exactly six minutes. After six minutes, pour out the hot water, rinse with cool water, then peel immediately.
While the egg is cooking, add 1/2 cup of precooked seasoned rice to a bowl along with 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach. Microwave on high until heated through (about two minutes, stirring once half way through). Season the spinach and rice with butter and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the egg is cooked and peeled, add it to the bowl with the spinach rice, drizzle hot sauce over top, and eat.

Notes

Coconut oil makes a delicious substitution for butter. Experiment with adding extra herbs for more flavor.
