Vegetable Fried Rice
Yield: Makes 4 side-dish servings
Fried rice comes alive with a vibrant mix of broccoli, red pepper and carrot. The vegetables also boost the amount of vitamins and minerals in this traditional Chinese favorite.
Ingredients:
1
teaspoon vegetable oil
1-1/2
cups small broccoli florets
1/2
cup chopped red bell pepper
2
cups chilled cooked white rice
1
tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2
cup shredded carrot
Preparation:
1.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and bell pepper; stir-fry 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2.
Add rice and soy sauce; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add carrot; heat through.
Cook's Tip:
Don't throw away those broccoli stems after removing the florets for this recipe. Instead, peel the stems with a vegetable peeler, cut them crosswise into thin slices and steam until crisp-tender.
