Introduction
This is a filling lunch and a great use of leftover brown rice. It's a little bit high in fat, but pair with fruit for a balanced meal. Use whatever veggies you have on hand, and all measurements are approximate, but this is a good mix. Use about 2/3-1c. of vegetables for a healthy lunch!

Ingredients
-
1/2 T. Olive Oil, divided
1/4 c. chopped fresh broccoli
1/4 sm. onion, sliced thin
1/2 cl. garlic, minced
1/3 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1/4 c. sliced or diced red bell pepper
1/4 t. minced ginger root
1/8 c. frozen peas & carrots
2/3 c. cooked and cooled brown rice
1/2 t. Sesame Oil
1 t. Tamari or soy sauce
1 medium egg, scrambled
1 lemon wedge (optional)
chile-garlic sauce to taste
Directions
Heat about 1/3 of the olive oil (a little shy of a teaspoon) in a small non-stick skillet with a lid. Cook the broccoli and onion for a minute or two, add a splash of water, and cover to steam.
Add another 1/3 of the olive oil, along with the garlic, celery, bell pepper, ginger root, and peas & carrots. Saute & steam again, just until peas & carrots are warmed through and veggies are tender-crisp.
Add the brown rice, sesame oil and tamari, and saute until the rice is cooked to your liking. You may wish to add another splash of water and cover to steam if your rice is too dry.
Push the rice and vegetables to the sides of the pan, add the remaining olive oil to the middle of the pan, and pour in the scrambled egg. Allow the egg to set for a minute before you start scrambling. Some of the egg will get into the rice/veggies (and vice-versa). Scramble until the egg is cooked through, and then mix into the rice.
Plate and serve with the lemon wedge and chile-garlic sauce.
