Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook Jasmine Rice
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Poach the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Protein
