Veggie Fried Rice

From now on, almost all the recipes I post I will also be providing the calorie amount. I have started counting my calories to help with my weight loss and so far so good! I made this dish yesterday for lunch and it turned out delicious! It was pretty quick too.

This makes 4 servings at 229 calories per serving. You will need the following ingredients :
        -1/2 cup egg substitute - this is optional
        - 1 cup bean sprouts
        - 1 cup shredded carrots
        - 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
        - 1 clove garlic minced
        - 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
        - 1tbl vegetable oil - I used olive oil
        - 2 cups cooked white or brown rice chilled - I used brown rice
        - 2-3 tbl soy sauce - I used a low sodium soy sauce
        - 1 cup frozen peas thawed
         - 1/4 cup sliced green onion - I forgot to add this! oops

Coat a large nonstick skillet or wok with no-stick spray. Scramble the egg substitute over medium heat until fully cooked and set aside on a plate. Coat the skillet again with nonstick and add the bean sprouts, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes.


 Remove and set aside (cover to keep warm) Heat up the oil until hot and add the rice and soy sauce.
Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.


Add peas, onion, and the bean sprout mix, and the egg if using. Stir gently to combine. Cooke until heated through.



This dish turned out great I thought. However both my mom and I were still hungry when done lol. So maybe have something small with it. For those eating meat it would be easy to add some from to this dish.
