Monday’s Bread Bowl: Fried Brown Rice

Brown Calrose does it again

The hardy texture of sticky brown rice serves as the foundation for this more nutritious version of regular fried rice.  Here’s the recipe:

What you will need:

1 frying pan or large wok

1 wooden spoon

2 to 3 cups cooked brown Calrose rice/ leftover brown Calrose rice

3 tablespoons cooking oil

1 cup broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces

2 hot dog wieners, diced

3 slices bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 red bell pepper, chopped small

1 yellow onion, chopped small

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 eggs, scrambled and chopped up

Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking and Directions:

Heat up pan on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.  Add cooking oil.  Pour in garlic, onion, bacon and hot dog pieces.  Sautee ingredients for 5-8 minutes.  Occasionally toss and stir ingredients in the process.  Next, add egg and veggies.  Toss again.  Let veggies cook through.  Finally, add brown rice and mix well.  Let rice fry while stirring for another 5 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve immediately.
