quazi-healthy-fried rice recipe

[adapted from daily garnish]

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice [1 cup of uncooked]

2 carrots

1/2 white onion

1 shallot [only because I just had it laying around]

1 cup shelled edamame [I used frozen]

4 Tablespoons soy sauce

2 Tablespoons sesame oil

1 Tablespoon butter

1 Tablespoon chopped garlic/1 garlic clove

1 egg

step 1: cook 1 cup of brown rice per instructions on rice box/use rice cooker

step 1: prep cutting veggies [dice onion, shallots carrots] while rice cooks

step 2: add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to med-high heat skillet/wok - add rice and onions [and if you're like me and have one laying around cut up shallot], cook for around 5 minutes until rice is "fried" and onions are cooked

step 3: add edamame and carrots [and whatever other veggies suit your fancy] and cook

step 4: mix soy sauce and rest of sesame oil together and add to rice/veggie mixture

step 5: push rice/veggies to outside of skillet and fry and egg in the middle, quickly break yolk and scramble egg into rice/veggies [I accidentally did this before I added the soy sauce/sesame oil and it turned out fine]

step 6: add garlic and butter

step 7: add additional soy/garlic to taste

can you believe I did it all on my own without asking DJ a million questions?!

I was super proud of myself and let me tell you...

it is really, REALLY good!
