Veggie Fried Rice

I just found great instant brown rice with quinoa from costco. (4 packs for $7.99) I wanted to make something good with brown rice but wasn't sure what to add. Then I thought of fried rice. After watching the chefs at Samurai cook fried rice on the stoves right at your table a few times, I knew it was pretty easy. This is my healthy version..


you'll need:

• 2 packs of instant brown rice (the one above that already has a great garlic flavor)
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 medium green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped white onion
• 1/4 broccoli florets
• 9 baby carrots (chopped)
• about 4 tbsp chopped green onion
• 3 tbsp smart balance spread (or butter)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium) 

Add the smart balance to saucepan and set the heat to medium low (level 3). Once the spread has melted, add the white onion, green pepper, carrots, and broccoli and sauté until the veggies are soft and a darker green (about 8 min) Then add the egg whites and soy sauce, scrambling the veggies and eggs evenly with a spatula. 

While the veggies are sautéing, cook the instant rice (takes 90 seconds). When the rice is finished, pour into a bowl and add the green onions. Then combine the egg/veggie mixture to the rice, stir and enjoy =]
