Healthy Un-Fried Rice

What do we need:

• 1 cup dry brown rice
• 2 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 cup shelled edamame
• 2 tbsp soy sauce or liquid aminos
• 1 fresh egg
• salt to taste

Steps:

• Start by preparing the brown rice. If you are making it on the stovetop, add 1 cup dry brown rice and 2 cups water to a sauce pan. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has cooked away.
• In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce. Set aside until ready.
• Once the rice is cooked, add 1 tbsp sesame oil to a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.
• Then add the rice to the skillet and stir often. “Fry” the rice for about 5 minutes to help give it that great fried rice texture, and to incorporate the great flavors of the sesame oil.
• Next add the diced carrots and the edamame,and stir to combine.
• Stir the edamame and carrots in, mixing frequently so that everything is cooked through. After a few minutes, add the sesame-soy mixture…
• And quickly stir to coat – the sauce should sizzle and steam!
• Using your spatula, push the rice to the sides of the skillet, forming a hole in the middle of the pan.
• While the pan is still nice and hot, crack an egg right in the center of that space – it should start to scramble right away.
• Use a spatula to break the yoke and quickly scramble the egg.
• If needed, season to taste with additional salt (probably not needed though because of the soy sauce), and serve in your favorite Asian-style bowl!
