Nutrition Packed Vegetable Fried Rice

After two weeks of illness, it's time to pull out the "big guns", and I don't mean Lysol and disinfecting wipes. I mean some seriously healthy food that's packed with protein, fiber, and lots of vitamins and minerals-- Veggie Fried Rice!


Prep all your veggies beforehand to speed up the cooking process
A bit of a cheat, but it makes putting this dish together so quick!
You can always add more oil, so use as little as possible to prevent sticking
Veggie Fried Rice
Makes 2 servings

4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 large white onion, chopped
1 inch cube fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
julienned carrots
sliced celery
broccoli florets
edamame
1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked brown rice
2 Tablespoons chopped green onion

Saute garlic, onion, and ginger in 1 Tablespoon olive oil until onions are translucent. Do not brown.
Add veggies, and an additional 1 Tablespoon oil and stir fry until veggies are tender. Add cooked rice and stir until well combined and heated through. Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
