Default Re: Amy's Brown Rice and Veggie's

I haven't tasted this because I've always made my own "brown rice & veggies" according to what I have on hand.

It tastes best the very first meal, this is one item that doesn't seem to have its flavor enhanced by overnight refrigeration - if I do have leftovers, I keep the extra brown rice separate from the stir-fried veggies.

I use what's on hand, and especially like the stir fried veggies to always contain sliced carrots, some shredded purple cabbage, diced onions, chopped celery & minced garlic to taste.

I just fry the veggies in as small an amount of olive oil, and when almost done I turn up the heat and add some SESAME OIL and quickly finish.

I spread the already freshly cooked brown rice on a plate and cover with the "stir-fried" veggies.

Sometimes I also add a scrambled egg; and just about any veggie you like can be incorporated - sometimes I put frozen baby peas in at the very very end, so they only thaw and don't actually cook, they are so crunchy & sweet that way.

I don't often stir fry the rice, cuz it takes alot more oil to ensure it doesn't stick, and my body, alas, doesn't suffer from an olive oil or sesame oil deficiency.
