Veggie Fried Rice

Hey everyone, today I'm going to share with you a super easy and delicious recipe for fried rice.  This recipe is great as a meal, or as a side for you favorite dishes such as stir fry.  I even made this recipe on Sunday and heated up wed when pressed for time, that way I could still have a tasty and nutritious meal.  This recipe makes about 1-2 servings so you may need to adjust portion sizes.  Also you may change the vegetables by  adding or remove any to meet your preferences. Another great way to add more nutritional benefits to this meal would be using brown rice as it supplies fiber, and some other benefits white rice may not have.  Hope you enjoy this great recipe, for when you feel like having a little something extra with your rice.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of cooked brown rice (you can us left overs, or make some on the spot.  I used the Uncle Ben's 10minute brown rice)
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup broccoli or about 1 head chopped to bite size portions
  • handful of snow peas cut into 1in bits
  • 1 egg
  • soy sauce
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper
Directions:
1) Place your oil in a pan and heat up, once heated scramble your egg in the pan.  Once done set aside in a separate bowl.
2) Take your WOK and place about 2tbsp of oil in it, then place your cooked rice in and coat in the oil (make sure to use high heat)
3) Once rice is coated and heated add in the chopped vegetables and mix into the rice. Add some salt and pepper to flavor. Afterwards cover with a lid and let sit for 5min on medium heat.  (This gives the vegetables a vibrant color and cooks them really well)
4) After 5min add in the scrambled egg and about 1tbsp of soy sauce to flavor. (soy sauce may vary on preference) Keep in pan until everything is heated then serve, or place into a container and store in the refrigerator to reheat later.

Hope you Enjoy!
