I more aptly call this recipe “picky preschooler fried rice” because it has only three ingredients – asparagus, rice, and soy sauce. Older kids and adults might like a few additions: Add a teaspoon each of garlic and fresh ginger to the mix while it cooks, and a drizzle of sesame oil at serving time.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 cups cooked and cooled white rice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Chop the asparagus and add to the pan; cook for 4 minutes.
3. Stir in the rice and soy sauce; cook for a final few minutes, until warmed through.
