Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut oil)
1/2 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))
1/4 cup soy sauce (reduced sodium organic recommended)
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Cuisine

Chinese

Steps

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 1/2 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!

I had to run errands with my girls after work/daycare pick up so we got home pretty late. Everyone was hungry and I was tempted to call and order a pizza but I remembered I had all the ingredients for fried rice! I was able to literally make this in under 15 minutes, and am so glad I was able to make something wholesome, resist the easy way out, and saved some money. Thanks for the great recipe!

Best friend rice I've ever had. Made it Friday night, and making it again tonight! Family is obsessed. I didn't have onion on Friday so I used extra ginger & onion powder. Tonight I have extra onion and only powdered ginger. We'll see how it goes!!
