Not Fried Rice

Another recipe from Spark. It's a great substitute for your typical restaurant fried rice. I could hardly tell a difference!

2 c cooked brown rice OR long grain white rice
1/2 c Egg Beaters OR 2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 carrots, chopped (to save time you can buy matchstick carrot sticks)
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/2 c frozen peas
1/2 c frozen corn
1 small onion, chopped
2 T reduced-sodium soy sauce
water, as needed

Cook egg into an omelet over medium-high heat. Remove the omelet and add the carrots, celery and onion. Stir-fry over high heat, adding water as need until the veggies are tender-crisp. Cut the omelet into chunks and add to veggies along with peas and corn. Add the rice and soy sauce. Mix to combine.

Yields 4 servings.
