Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice cooked according to package directions (for a quick dinner, it is highly recommended to make this in advance and store in fridge)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh, minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 - 10-oz bag frozen veggies mixed and chopped (I opted for the "Chinese-style" mix)
- 2 eggs
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste (red or black)
- ¼ cup soy sauce reduced sodium organic recommended
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large saute pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and ginger to the pan and cook while stirring for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Pour the frozen veggies into the pan (straight out of the bag - no need to defrost!) and cook while stirring for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Using a spatula push the veggie mixture to one side of the wok. Drop in the 2 raw eggs on the other side and let them cook for 1 to 2 minutes before stirring the entire mixture together. Season with salt and (red or black) pepper to taste.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice to wok. Mix together thoroughly, serve warm, and enjoy!
