Fried Rice

Servings: 4

This recipe is better than the restaurant version. It is quick and can easily turn into a complete dinner with the addition of chopped chicken or turkey. It is great as leftovers too! You can add extra vegetables or protein- just adjust the ingredients accordingly.

2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil 4 Cups Brown Rice, Cooked

11⁄2 Teaspoon Soy Sauce or Tamari

2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten

1⁄4 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper

Optional:

1⁄4 Cup Scallions, Chopped

1⁄4 Cup Corn

1⁄4 Cup Peas

1⁄4 Cup Chopped Carrots

Heat the oil in a large skillet, and add the rice, soy sauce or tamari, pepper and optional ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, for about 6 minutes. Add the eggs and stir briskly so they cook and break into small bits throughout the rice. As soon as the egg is set, remove and serve.
