Meatless Monday - Vegetable Fried Rice

Super easy and a great way to use up veggies if you need to!



Vegetable Fried Rice

12 ounces of miscellaneous veggies (if you have some about to go bad), diced and steamed OR 12 oz bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables, microwaved for 2 minutes

2 eggs

oil

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup rice (I only use brown rice), cooked according to package

2 tablespoons each soy sauce and rice vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or cashews (optional)

Scramble the eggs, put aside.  Heat oil in same skillet, add onions, garlic and veggies, stir fry for 3 minutes.  Add cooked rice, soy sauce and vinegar, heat through.  Fold in eggs.  If prefer, top with nuts.
