One thing I’m trying really hard on is to bring lunch to work rather than always buying. However sometimes I just don’t have time to prep lunch but I also don’t want to spend a fortune for food in Downtown Vancouver. So to find a medium, I’ve been cheating by bringing these Minute Rice Ready to Serve Cups ( $2.75 for a sleeve of two 125 gram microwaveable cups) and then I walk to somewhere like Urban Fare for some $5 chicken.
I was sent four flavours of Minute Rice to try- Oriental Style Rice, Basmati Rice, Long Grain & Wild Rice Chicken Flavour, and Vegetable Medley with peas, carrots, corn. Each package comes with 2 microwavable cups- you just pull or cut the film that’s on top of the cup and microwave for 1-1.5 minutes. You can eat from the cup or put it in a dish- up to you!
I sometimes worry about these pre-cooked food, but the quality surprised me. My favourite is the Long Grain & Wild Rice has a flavourful chicken taste and I loved its savoury flavour! (Even my dad gave it two thumbs up.) The ONLY disappointing part is….these rice bowls are small, I would probably need two of them to get full haha!

Time for a lucky reader to win three cases (48 cups) of Minute Rice Ready to Serve Cups! We don’t have much time nowadays, so I’m super excited to host this contest because I love the simplicity and quality of these rice cups! These are something I’d repurchase to bring for lunch (because…..my house mostly eats brown rice so these guys are my mini munchy saviours!)
