One Pot Brown Fried Rice

This fried rice is heart-healthy, packed with fiber, so easy to make, and as delicious as take-out!

I have recently rediscovered the health benefits of brown rice, especially in comparison to white rice, and I decided to give it another chance. I tried it years ago and did not like the texture, and I just never went back to it. In the past week, I’ve had it in lentil tacos, with teriyaki tofu, and now fried rice! It’s packed with fiber and magnesium, making it heart-healthy and good for digestion, and it’s actually very delicious! This fried rice recipe came out great, and it’s a one-pot, less than 30-minute process, and it’s a total crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups minute brown rice, uncooked
• 3 cups low sodium vegetable stock
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1/2 yellow or white onion, diced
• 1/2 cup diced carrots
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• optional: 2 tbsp vegan butter
• optional: green onions

Method:

• Add all of the ingredients, minus the butter and green onions, to a large saute pot and stir to combine.

• Bring to a boil, cover, and lower to a simmer. Let simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.

• If desired, stir in the butter and green onions, and top with more green onions. Enjoy & share!
