Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil of choice (or margarine)
- 1 cup white rice, uncooked
- 3 tablespoons onion, minced
- 1/2 cup carrot, chopped or grated
- 2 cups water
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 4 egg whites, beaten
- 1/4 cup fat-free (skim) milk
- 1/2 cup peas
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook rice, minced onion, and carrots in oil, stirring often until lightly browned.
- Slowly add water. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Beat eggs in bowl. Stir in milk, peas, and soy sauce. Pour over hot rice mixture in fry pan.
- Cook on medium heat. As mixture begins to thicken, gently draw a spatula across bottom and sides of pan. This allows egg mixture to cook. Continue until eggs are firm.
