Fried Rice






This is a great easy and quick meal. The thing that takes the longest to cook is the rice. My husband doesn't like any food that is remotely Asian so thanks for reading and giving me an excuse to make this :). This is also a great meal to make a copy cat of for little ones.

1c brown rice
2c water
1-3 lbs your favorite meat (we used thin sliced chuck roast cut into strips)
1 carrot julianned
1/2 c edamame
1 bunch green onions chopped
3 eggs

Sauce/Marinade:
1/3 c Rice Vinegar
4-5 Drops Sesame Oil
1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (I use Kikkoman Gluten Free)
1 tsp Sugar
Dash of Wasabi

Bring your 2c of water to a boil then add the rice, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes.

Combine Rice Vinegar, Sesame Oil, Garlic, Soy Sauce, Sugar, and Wasabi. (If you are using closer to 3lbs of meat double the recipe.) Cut your meat into bite size pieces and place in the marinade. Let sit for 20min to 4 hours. If marinating more than 20 minutes cover and refrigerate.

Scramble your eggs then grease a skillet and cook them into an omelette like disk. If you can't flip it don't worry. Let the egg cook through and pull raw egg to the sides to cook. It'll go back in the pan later. Pour out the egg onto a plate and cut into strips.

Put your veggies in the skillet and stir fry, then add your meat and sauce and cook until meat is done. Add your rice and egg strips.

Top with soy sauce and peanuts if you want, or anything else you desire!

If you want to make a copycat meal for your little one take out 3 Tbsp of steamed rice, add in a few strips of egg, and some steamed peas.

This is one of those versatile meals that will go well with about any veggie combination. Add in some bell peppers, a regular onion, snap peas, go crazy!

Happy eating!
Tori
