Asian Edamame Fried Rice

By dette

For this healthy version of fried rice I used brown rice, edamame, carrots, scallions and onions. The beauty about making it yourself is you can add anything you want. If you want to make this a main dish you can add a protein such as chicken, shrimp or even tofu to keep it vegetarian. Or serve this as a side dish with some favorites like Asian Turkey Meatballs, Asian Drumsticks, Asian Grilled Chicken.

Ingredients

• 3 cups leftover cooked brown rice
• 2 egg whites, scrambled
• 1 whole egg, scrambled
