Veggie Fried Rice

Makes: 4 servings
Each serving contains: 0 protein, 1 carb, 1 veg, 1/2 fat

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh ginger, 1-inch piece grated
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 1 cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup peas or snow peas
  • ½ cup carrots, shredded
  • ½ cup corn
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • ¼ cup onion, chopped
  • ½ Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp tamari
  • Fresh chives, basil or any other add-ins
Directions:
  1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, stir fry for 1 minute.
  2. Crack the egg directly into the pan and gently stir until barely cooked, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the rice and stir fry for a few minutes, adding the remaining olive oil and turning the heat up to get it sizzling. The egg should incorporate and stick to the rice.
  4. Add all vegetables, rice vinegar and tamari to the pan and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in any additional add-ins and serve.
  6. Divide into 4 equal servings.
