Fried Sesame Brown Rice with Edamame

Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups cooked cooled brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil plus more for drizzling.
  • 2 carrots grated or shredded
  • 1 cup shelled edamame thawed from frozen
  • 2 scallions chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a spatula almost constantly for 3 minutes, until scrambled, fluffy, and cooked through. Remove to a small plate. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Add sesame oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the carrots, edamame, scallions, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic. Saute, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice. The pan of veggies and rice will seem dry but you want the rice to brown and become crispy. Saute the whole mixture for about 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into the pan. Stir the mixture to coat everything evenly.
  • Drizzle everything with additional sesame oil (about 2 teaspoons- important for flavor)
  • Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and mix well. Serve.
