Makes 1 servings | Serving size: 1 recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of brown rice
  • 1 cup of vegetables. Choose 2–3 (onion, broccoli, peas, celery, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, squash, zucchini, and cauliflower)
  • 1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

  1. Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Wash and chop selected vegetables into small evenly sized pieces. You may cut them into circles, strips, or cubes as desired.
  3. Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet.
  4. Keeping the heat high, add vegetables to the skillet in order of firmness—harder foods first and ending with the softest foods. Stir constantly and cook until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, crack one egg. Add egg to the pan. Stir constantly and cook the egg for about 1 minute until the egg reaches 145 ̊F.
  6. Add soy sauce and cooked rice to the pan.
  7. Stir constantly and cook for another 1–2 minutes or until the mixture is well combined.
