How to make Healthy Egg Fried Rice

🥢 Healthy Egg Fried Rice

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice (or jasmine rice, preferably cold and day-old)
• 2 large eggs (or 3 if you want more protein)
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers, corn, etc.)
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1–2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 1 tsp olive oil (or avocado oil, for cooking)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of sriracha for heat

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep all ingredients before you start cooking. Cold rice works best to avoid mushy texture.
2. Scramble the eggs:
   • Heat ½ tsp oil in a large pan or wok.
   • Crack in the eggs, scramble gently, and cook until just set. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté vegetables:
   • In the same pan, add the remaining oil.
   • Add garlic and onion, sauté for 1–2 minutes.
   • Add your mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant.
4. Add rice:
   • Add the cold rice to the pan.
   • Stir-fry on medium-high heat, breaking up clumps.
   • Cook for 2–3 minutes until rice is hot and a little crispy.
5. Season:
   • Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
   • Add the scrambled eggs back in and mix well.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili.
6. Finish and garnish:
   • Toss in green onions.
   • Serve hot with optional lime wedge or sriracha on the side.
