Recipe: One Pot Veggie Fried Rice

On Friday night, A came over to watch the second installment of Lord of the Rings, The Twin Towers, and she taught me how to make an easy one pot veggie fried rice with brown rice. It was quick, healthy, and oh-so delicious, so I figured I would share the recipe!

Recipe: One Pot Veggie Fried Rice

Ingredients:

-1 cup brown rice

-4 eggs (I used all 4 of the egg whites, but only 2 of the yolks)

-1 cup frozen vegetables

-1 cup sliced mushrooms

-3/4 cup bean sprouts

-4 tbsp Soyaki sauce

-1 tbsp olive oil

-2 tbsp Sriracha

-1 tbsp red chili powder, optional

-Himalayan pink salt, to taste

-Black pepper, to taste

1.) Cook the brown rice according to the directions on the package, and while the rice is cooking, chop/dice/thaw out all your vegetables. Now I'm normally a huge fan of fresh ingredients, but I made an exception in this one case and went with a frozen medley. Once the rice is done cooking, set aside and allow to cool.

2.) Whisk together the eggs (I only used two of the egg yolks but feel free to use the whole egg or just the egg whites, it wont make a difference). Toss in the chili powder (optional) and a pinch of salt, and continue whisking until the eggs are light and airy.

3.) Set a pan over medium heat and heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once the pan is hot enough, toss in the frozen vegetables and let them cook.

4.) Once the frozen vegetables are almost fully cooked, toss in the mushrooms and bean sprouts, along with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper.

5.) Stir fry the veggies until they are fully cooked and starting to sear a little bit. All the water and moisture from the bean sprouts should be gone.

6.) Stir in the eggs and as they start to cook, fold in the vegetables.

7.) Continue stirring the mixture until the eggs and veggies are well incorporated and resemble scrambled eggs.

8.) Toss in the cooked and cooled brown rice and gently stir it in to the egg and vegetable mixture.

9.) Add the Soyaki and Sriracha to the rice and stir thoroughly, but without smushing the rice.

10.) Add more Sriracha or Soyaki per individual taste. Obviously I added a bit more Sriracha because I like my fried rice spicy.

11.) Serve immediately and enjoy =] We had ours with a side of meat-less Mandarin Chicken from Trader Joe's.
