Vegetable Fried Rice


This dish was inspired by the rice made at Japanese Steak Houses. Hopefully, my version is a bit healthier!


Edible Elements:

  • Whole Grain Brown Rice
  • 1-2 eggs
  • Fat free Butter Spray
  • Fat free Pam/Cooking Spray
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Frozen mixed vegetables
  • Onion
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Cook the brown rice as instructed on the packaging. When rice is cooked, spray non stick skillet with Pam, set to high. Saute onions until they begin to turn golden. Crack egg/s onto the heated surface, and cut into the yoke and through the whites immediately, spread rice onto the skillet, and blend the onions and eggs into the rice. Spray with butter spray and Pam. The rice will take about 10 minutes to begin to crisp on the skillet. After one minute, turn the burner to medium high, and then to medium after another two minutes, depending on your burner. Flatten the rice with a spatula periodically, and press the rice into the skillet, flipping every minute or so. After eight minutes, add the mixed vegetables into the blend, and begin to sprinkle with soy sauce. Continue to spray with Pam and butter spray as needed. Season with Garlic and Onion Powder. When finished, salt and pepper to taste.
