Scramble 2 eggs and set aside.
Put 1 cup jasmine brown rice and 1.5 cups of water in rice cooker with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Turn it on. The main reason to eat brown rice is bcz of the amount of dietary fiber it provides. A diet high in dietary fiber helps weight loss bcz it helps you feel full faster and longer, which helps prevent overeating. The phytonutrients improve your immune system and overall health.
While that cooks, I chop up and saute on medium heat in 1 tbsp olive oil plus 1 tbsp Earth Butter in a large frypan:
1 small chopped onion
8 chopped mushrooms
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 chopped celery stalk
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 cup chopped parsley
When the vegetables are getting tender, toss in the rice. it will be a little crusty on the bottom where the soy sauce will have settled. Toss everything together to mix well. Season with 1/2 tsp each sea salt and white pepper, 1-2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar and 1/2 tsp sesame oil.
You can either turn the heat UP if you have a wok and quick saute it like that, but WHAT I DO IS turn the heat DOWN to medium low and let the bottom rice get crisp. This will give you a quart, 2-4 good portions.
This is a streamlined recipe. I find that making micro soups and mini fried rices are good ways for me to incorporate more fresh vegetables into my diet. Sure I take daily vitamins also, but when I eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables daily, I feel my system just gets an extra boost of vitality.
SECRET: I also add cooked brown lentils to my fried rice to add fiber and nutrients
