Do rice cookers really make things easier? I normally just stick it in a pot and wait 45 minutes. Seems fine!
And really if you're cooking with olive oil I don't think it needs Extra Virgin. I use that more in stuff I'm not cooking such as salads.
In principle, organic, unrefined, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil should have the lowest smoke point of all forms of olive oil since this form of the oil is the least refined, most nutrient dense and contains the largest concentration of fragile nutritive components. Oxidation of nourishing substances found in extra virgin olive oil, as well as acrylamide formation, can occur at cooking temperatures very closer to the 300°F/148°C range. For these reasons, I don't recommend cooking with extra virgin olive oil.
Seems counter-productive to use frozen, mass-produced vegetable-mix. If you don't want the hassle of cutting things, I suppose you can prep enough for future meals and keep it in fridge.
If you really want fried rice, it is easier to cook the rice a day ahead and keep it in fridge in wide shallow pan to dry out a bit. Fried rice that is too wet will clump up pretty bad. Not sure if brown rice will be ideal for fried rice, but I have not tried (brown rice is kinda wierd in Asian cuisine, imo).

That you choose to be ghetto, then climb up on your cross and whinge about it just makes you an object of derision. Not the object of pity you seem want to be.

Either way, you can easily un-ghetto the shit out of that steaming microwaved pile of food-like product by spending much less and using real produce and rice (won't comment on fake sausage).

It's derogatory to refer to something as ghetto unless it's an actual ghetto.
Is that why people from the ghetto listen to music by people who constantly use words like ghetto and hood even though most of those rappers have only ever seen a ghetto on tv?
By the way, no one even uses the word ghetto anymore aside from the so called "derogatory" way, and maybe some clueless fucks from academia.

Got it WG
even in your cooking thread can you not throw your self-hatred racial bias around in the most moronic of ways.
almost provided something of value here but once again, you can not help but trip over your own stupid
Since when does the term ghetto have anything to do with race?
Seriously though, you could make this meal for roughly the same cost (or less) using unprocessed ingredients... and I guarantee it would be healthier and taste a fuck of a lot better.
