Sinnful Thoughts

Sinnfully Good Veggie Fried Rice

• 2 cups dry rice
• 4 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 4 cups water
• 1 bunch of fresh asparagus
• 3 celery stalks
• 6 green onions
• 2 carrots
• 4 eggs, scrambled
• 6 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce

Cut asparagus and celery in 1-inch pieces on the diagonal, grate the carrots, and slice whites and greens of green onions.  Heat sesame oil in a large pan on medium-high to high heat.  When the oil is heated, add the rice to the pan and heat for five minutes.  Stir the rice to keep from burning.  Once it is brown, add the vegetables and water.  Turn the heat down to medium, cover rice and cook for 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed.  In a separate frying pan, scramble the four eggs.

When the rice is done and the water absorbed, add the eggs, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce.     

Serves:  8
