Veggie Fried Rice


This is a super recipe for using veggies that are about to go bad.

Ingredients:
  • A little bit of olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup cooked sweet potatoes, diced (as best you can....they are a bit mushy)
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 3 mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 green onions, sliced
  • About 3 cups cooked brown rice (or any rice)
  • 1/2 c. frozen peas
  • 1/2 c. frozen corn
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 Tb. soy sauce
Directions:

First put a tiny bit of olive oil in a large frying pan and scramble the egg. Once cooked, remove it and set aside in a small bowl.

Then saute the sweet potato and carrot in a little more olive oil, about 5-7 min. Then add mushrooms, green onions and cook till just soft. Add rice, ginger, soy sauce, a little more olive oil, frozen peas and corn. Add the egg back into the pan.

Fry until the rice starts to brown and get a bit crispy.

Notes about this recipe:

1. All of the ingredients are up to you. Use what you have, add more if you like it, don't add it if you don't like it.

2. If you prefer you can fry it until the rice is warm. That's if you don't like it a bit crispy.
