For 4 servings
- 1 cup brown rice

- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to boil, then add the brown rice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the cabbage, slice the carrots thinly, and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the carrots and cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- 5
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the cleared space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
- 6
Add the cooked brown rice to the pan, along with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serve the stir-fry warm, adjusting seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper if desired.
