Equipment

  • Large non-stick skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped broccoli (fresh)
  • 3 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chopped or shredded carrots
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion

Instructions

  • Add broccoli to a food processor. Pulse until broccoli resembles rice. Do not over process!
  • Heat a large wok or non-stick pan to a high heat. Add 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion, garlic, and carrot. Season with salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to stir-fry veggies until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add another two teaspoons of sesame oil and add broccoli. Again, season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Continue to stir-fry 3-4 minutes until broccoli begins to cook. Add remaining oil followed by rice. Continue to use the wooden spoon to stir-fry the mixture for another 2 minutes or until the veggies are all cooked.
  • Drizzle in soy sauce and sprinkle with garlic powder. Continue to cook another 2-3 minutes until sauce has coated all the rice and veggies. Reduce the heat to medium and make a well in the center of the mixture. Crack an egg in the middle and use the spoon to scramble the egg. Mix in to the rice. 
  • Add green onions. Toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
