Brown Fried Rice

For this recipe, you will need:
-1 small onion, diced -2 garlic cloves, minced
-1 tsp minced ginger (or ground ginger) -1 cup each of frozen peas and carrots
-3 cups cooked brown rice -4 tbsp soy sauce
-2 tsp sesame oil (or oil of choice) -3 tbsp chopped green onions
-1-2 eggs or tofu scramble (optional)

If desired, in a large wok or pan with half of the oil, scramble the two eggs or tofu scramble over medium heat then remove from pan to a plate to keep warm. If not adding the eggs, begin by putting the onion into the pan and stir, cooking until the onions have softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the other half of the oil to the wok and stir fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add the frozen peas and carrots and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes. Add the brown rice and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce (and optional oyster sauce). Stir to heat through. If using them, add the eggs back in the wok or pan and stir in the green onions. Heat through and serve immediately.
