  • Prep 7 min
  • Total 13 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cold cooked white rice
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 can (15 to 16 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups lightly packed spinach leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Heat wok or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; rotate wok to coat side.
  • 2
    Add all ingredients except spinach to skillet; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through. Add spinach; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach begins to wilt.

  • Measuring all your ingredients and cooking the rice the night before will help you get this dinner done in no time.
  • Need to pump up the heat? Put a bottle of red pepper sauce on the table so guests can add as much fire as they want.
  • Serve with biscuits and fresh fruit for a quick weeknight meal. For any meat lovers in the family, sprinkle 1 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled, onto each individual serving. Or keep it vegetarian, and sprinkle each serving with bacon flavor chips.
  • Despite their southern roots, black-eyed peas originated in Asia. These small beige beans with black circular “eyes” are also called cowpeas.
  • Try canned black-eyed peas with jalapeño chilies in this dish. Omit the ground red pepper, or keep it in if you like plenty of heat.
