Make this recipe a heartier main dish by stirring in a bit of cooked protein such as thinly sliced pork or beef, diced chicken, or baby shrimp.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Egg

2 large egg(s), lightly beaten

Carrots

1 cup(s), shredded

Scallions

1 cup(s), chopped, divided

Cooked white rice

3 cup(s)

Frozen green peas

½ cup(s), thawed

Less sodium soy sauce

¼ cup(s), or to taste

Instructions

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm the pan over medium-high heat. Add the eggs; tilt the pan so that eggs cover bottom.
  2. When the eggs start to set, break them up into pieces with a heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until the eggs are cooked through, about 1 minute more; remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Off heat, re-coat same skillet with cooking spray; set over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and all but 2 tbsp of the scallions; sauté until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice, peas, and soy sauce; cook until heated through, stirring once or twice, about 1 minute. Gently stir in the cooked egg and the remaining scallions; heat through.
  5. Serving size: about 3/4 cup

Notes

To change things up, swap the frozen peas for sliced snow peas, sugar snap peas, or tender asparagus tips.
