Stir Fried Rice (or Rice Noodles)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rice or rice noodles
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1/2 head broccoli, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 portabello mushroom, chopped
• 1 bunch swiss chard, chopped
• 1 bunch bok choy, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 eggs, beaten
• olive oil
• soy sauce

Directions:

1. Cook rice or rice noodles as package suggests and set aside.
2. Steam celery, carrots and broccoli to soften a bit (celery & carrots = 5-7 minutes, broccoli = 3-5 minutes).
3. Heat olive oil in pan over medium high heat.
4. Add onions and cook until translucent
5. Add all of the veggies. Stir everything together, adding more oil if needed. 
6. Add garlic powder, ginger powder, crushed black pepper and soy sauce
7. Cook for about 7-10 minutes or until it is all cooked to your preference.
8. Add the rice or rice noodles and mix together well.
9. Push mixture to one half of the pan and crack eggs into the other half. Scramble the eggs until they are pretty much cooked, then introduce both sides of the pan together, mixing the eggs with the rice/veggie mixture.

*These are just a few veggie options, you can add any veggies you like! You can use peanut, sesame or coconut oil in place of the olive oil. And you can replace the soy sauce with liquid aminos, it taste the same and has a lot less sodium (as well as being gluten free). 

**Tip- Day old rice works really well in this recipe, as it doesn't stick together as much.
