Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice

Serve this with some pan-sauteed tofu on the side, and perhaps some sliced tomatoes and bell peppers.

Type: Rice
Courses: Vegetarian
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups 240g / 8.5ozBrown or brown basmati rice
2 tablespoons 30mlVegetable oil - divided
3   Eggs - beaten, (optional)
1   Bag frozen mixed vegetables - (16 oz) - thawed
4   Scallions - (to 5) - thinly sliced
  Natural soy sauce - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Combine the rice with 4 cups of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 35 minutes.

If using eggs, heat half of the oil in a medium-wide skillet. When hot, add the beaten eggs. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover, and cook until the eggs are set on top. Flip and cook briefly on the other side, then slide the egg pancake onto a plate. When cool enough to handle, cut into strips about 1/2-inch wide by 1 1/2 inches long.

Heat the remaining oil in a wok or stir-fry pan. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until they are just tender-crisp. Add the cooked rice and scallions. Season to taste with soy sauce and stir fry over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the optional egg strips and serve, passing around extra soy sauce if you'd like.

This recipe yields 6 or more servings.
