¾ cup brown rice, cooked (¼ cup dry)
2 eggs
¼ cup yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup carrot, diced
½ cup zucchini, diced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce, reduced sodium

Directions

1. Crack eggs into a small bowl and add a splash of soy sauce; whisk and set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the brown rice and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Make a small well in the center and add the eggs; cook for one minute or until the eggs begin to cook before folding the egg into the rice mixture. Add remaining soy sauce and thoroughly mix.
