I have some orange chicken on top (street kitchen meal kit from Walmart).
I added about 1/3 of a cup of onions to the pot with oil before the garlic, cooked those for a couple minutes.
I also used normal long grain white rice, it does end up a tad mushier if you try stiring with a spatula but I still have my rice spoon which worked well! I used frozen carrots and peas so added them at the time it states in recipe for peas.
I really like it and will make again! Super easy!
