Ingrediants

  1. 1 cup instant brown rice
  2. 1 cup vegetable broth
  3. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  4. 2 teaspoons canola oil
  5. 6 ounces asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  6. 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced into 1-inch pieces
  7. 4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  8. 1 clove garlic, minced
  9. 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  10. 4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  11. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  12. 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  13. Hot pepper sauce, to taste
Cooking Directions
  1. 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.
  2. While the rice is cooling, coat a large nonstick 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.
  3. Heat canola 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, soy sauce 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.
