   GARLIC FRIED RICE with VEGETABLES

 

Back in the day when I cooked with white rice, I had a recipe for fried rice that included scrambled eggs and soy sauce. This healthier version starts with a blend of wild & brown rice, incorporates more veggies than the original recipe, and skips the eggs and soy sauce. It makes a great side dish for fish or poultry.

1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté for 1-2 minutes just until tender crisp:

1˝ cups broccoli florets

2 carrots, julienned

4-5 mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2. Clear a spot in the middle of the vegetables and pour in:

1 Tbsp olive oil

3. Stir in:

2 cups cooked brown & wild rice (cooled in refrigerator)

2 green onions, sliced

˝ tsp garlic powder

˝ tsp Mrs. Dash’s seasoning

Pinch of pepper

4. Cook, stirring until rice and onion are heated through, approximately 2-3 minutes. Serves 4-5.

Note: You could sauté the green onion with the other vegetables, but I like to add them at the end so they retain their crunchiness.


Fried Rice with Vegetables

   
   

The process that produces brown rice removes only the hull of the rice kernel and is the least damaging to its nutritional value.
