Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 4 scallions chopped, separating the whites and the greens
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cloves garlic minced, 3 for garlic lovers like me
  • 3 cups brown rice This is how I make my brown rice.
  • 1 cup peas cooked, I like the individual serving microwaveable bags for this.
  • 3 eggs scrambled
  • soy sauce or Tamari, to taste, about 2 tablespoons
  • red pepper flakes For a kick:, or Sriracha
  • edamame
  • snap peas
  • broccoli
  • corn
  • cashews

Method

  • Heat oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat. (Woks are best because they get really hot, but I don't have one, so I can assure you a pan will work just fine.)
  • When the oil is hot, saute your onion, scallion whites, bell pepper, and carrots for about 1 or 2 minutes, until the onion and bell pepper soften a bit.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for about 30 seconds, watching and stirring to ensure it does not burn.
  • Add rice, and stir for a couple minutes to heat through.Note: It is best to use rice that has cooled, so you may want to make the rice ahead of time. This will also make for a much quicker meal if you're cooking on a weeknight!
  • Add peas, eggs, scallion greens, and soy sauce, and cook for another couple minutes, mixing well.
