Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled and ready to eat; I get it frozen and thawed)
  • 1/3 cup onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 to 5 scallions, chopped (white and green parts)
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced small
  • 2 extra large eggs, beaten
  • 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (I usually stick with 2 tablespoons, but you can add more if you like)
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons oil (vegetable oil, you want a more neutral oil, not olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • Optional
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, small diced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Base Vegetables ... Add the vegetable and sesame oil to a large saute pan or wok; and, bring to medium high heat. Saute the peppers and onions, constantly stirring for 3 minutes until slightly tender; then, add the rice, garlic, scallions, mix, and cook another minute.

  • Step 2: Eggs ... Push the rice mixture to the sides of the pan, so it is NOT on direct heat; and add a little extra oil to the center of the pan (just a light drizzle). Then, add the beaten eggs to the center; stirring or scrambling until set; trying not to incorporate them with the other ingredients. Once scrambled and lightly set (not over done), mix the eggs back in with the rest of the ingredients; and, add the edamame.

  • Step 3: Finish ... Add the soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste, and a bit of broth to moisten the rice. Go easy with the salt, the soy sauce is salty - even if you use low sodium. Add this point, you can add the chicken if you decide to make this more of a main dish. Cook just a minute or two to heat everything through; remove from the heat, then serve. Note: Shrimp is also delicious in this dish instead of the chicken.

  • Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! ... This is a great side or main dish; and, perfect without the chicken - as a "meatless Monday" dish too. Just a bit different than the traditional fried rice; but, just as good.
