Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If not already cooked, prepare the brown rice according to the package instructions. Set aside and let it cool.
- In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the egg whites to the pan, and scramble them until they are fully cooked. Once done, transfer the scrambled egg whites to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the package of mixed frozen vegetables and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly tender. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the whole egg into the empty side.
- Scramble the egg until fully cooked, then mix it together with the vegetables.
- Add the cooked brown rice and the previously scrambled egg whites to the skillet with the vegetables and whole egg.
- Stir everything together, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure all the ingredients are heated through.
- You may season your veggie fried rice with a pinch of salt, pepper, or a splash of soy sauce to taste, depending on your preferences.
- Once everything is well mixed and warmed through, remove from heat.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your nutritious and delicious Veggie Fried Rice with Egg!
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the brown rice ahead of time, preferably the day before, to give it the right texture for frying.
- Thaw and drain the frozen vegetables to prevent excess moisture from making your fried rice soggy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or wok to ensure even cooking and to make the clean-up process easier.
- Cook the eggs separately and then combine them with the rice and vegetables to avoid the eggs becoming rubbery.
- Season the fried rice with soy sauce, salt, pepper, and any additional spices to enhance the flavor to your liking.
