Steps

10 mins

1

Note: all ingredients are for a single serve. Very simple to make a bigger batch though :-)
2

In a heat proof bowl add the dried onions, thyme, couscous and oil. Make sure it is all flat and level. No need to mix ingredients.
3

Gently pour in the boiling water and then the soy sauce. Carefully jiggle the bowl so that the liquid is evenly distributed. Again, don't mix it.
4

Place a saucer or layer of tin foil over the top to keep the heat in. Set aside for 5-7mins so it can absorb all the liquid.
5

Remove the cover and fluff up with a fork to serve.
6

Can be easily reheated in the microwave if making ahead of time and is fantastic the next day. Just add a touch of water if it seems dry before reheating.
