Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup brown rice
2 1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 -3 eggs, slightly scrambled
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup cooked chicken (optional) or 1 cup cooked beef, diced (optional)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
5 -10 drops sesame oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Place brown rice and water in pot with tight fitting lid - bring to boil, then simmer for 40 minutes or until water is absorbed (or use left over brown rice).
  • In large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over med-high heat - add onions and garlic, cook until soft.
  • Push onions and garlic to the side, add eggs, and cook, stirring constantly.
  • Add vegetables (I usually add more than 1 cup) and rice, left over meat(if you choose to), and green onions - continue stirring.
  • Add soy sauce and sesame oil - heat through.
  • To freeze: Place in a rigid container and freeze. Note: If you plan on freezing part of this you may want to omit the soy sauce and sesame oil until reheat.
  • To heat: Thaw, put in a baking dish, covered with foil and reheat at 350F for 30 minutes or until heated through.
