Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 green onions, root and green tops
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen edamane, shell removed
  • 2 cups additional vegetables finely chopped (onions, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, etc)
  • 2 cups cooked brown Basamati Rice
  • 3 Tbsp organic tamari, coconut aminos or soy sauce (diluted, 1:1 soy sauce & water blend)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger, about 1 inch of the root
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • If your rice is not already cooked, measure out 1 cup of dry rice. This will yield 2 cups of cooked rice. Cook according to package. You may want to leave the rice on a simmer an extra 5-10 minutes to ensure it dries out as much as possible.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Or spray non-stick spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together until yolks and whites are combined. Season wtih a sprinkle of salt & pepper.
  • Add the eggs to the pan and scramble. Once cooked, remove the eggs from the pan and set aside in a small bowl for later.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the pan on medium heat. Depending on the vegetables you selected saute as needed for desired texture. Typically 5-8 minutes will be enough to make them all tender, given you chopped them in bite size pieces. Cook the carrots and green onions with your other vegetables for the final 4 minutes.
  • White vegetables are cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add in the frozen edamame and cook as directed, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove all vegetables from the pan and set to the side. Turn heat to medium low.
  • Add the cooked rice, your choice of tamari, soy sauce or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, toasted seasame oil, and grated ginger to the pan. Stire until well combined.
  • Add the scrambled eggs and vegetables back to the pan and stir to incorporate into the rice.
  • Reduce heat to low and let the rice and vegetables cook for about 5-10 minutes, stiring occassionally.
  • Serve in a bowl and enjoy all your vegetables disguised in your rice! Pairs great with crispy tofu!
