Equipment

  • 1 large wok of frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked nutty brown rice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can (15 oz) sweet peas, drained
  • 1 bag (10 oz) shredded carrots
  • 2 large purple bell peppers, diced
  • 1 pound sliced mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh green onions (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t already cooked the brown rice, prepare it according to package instructions. You want the rice to be fluffy but firm enough to hold its shape when fried.
  • Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add Peppers and Carrots: Stir in the diced purple bell peppers and shredded carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften but still retain some crunch.
  • Mix in Peas and Eggs: Add the drained sweet peas and the eggs to the side of the pan and scoot everything else to the side while scrambling your eggs, and then mix with the rest.
  • Fry the Rice: Add the cooked brown rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Pour the soy sauce over the rice and stir everything together. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice starts to crisp up slightly at the bottom of the pan.
  • Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you love. Taste and adjust as needed.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh green onions if desired, and serve hot!
