Vegetable Friend Rice

This is an easy, tasty and healthy side dish.

• 1 cup brown rice
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tsps canola oil
• 6 oz asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 4 tsps Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
• 2 Tsps rice vinegar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• Hot red pepper sauce, to taste

Combine rice and broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes. Spread the rice out on a large plate and let stand for 5 minutes.

While the rice is cooling, coat a large wok or skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Pour in eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl.

Heat oil in the pan over medium-high; add asparagus and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add bell pepper, scallions, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked rice, liquid aminos and vinegar to the pan; cook until the liquid is absorbed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fold in the cooked eggs. Remove from the heat; stir in sesame oil and hot sauce.

Try it as a side dish or try this:  cut 2 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, dip them in a mixture of equal parts olive oil and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, and bake them at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.   Add the chicken to this dish once it is cooked for a healthy Chinese food dish!
