Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Serving size: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 eggs and 4 egg whites
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup peas
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 cup white rice, uncooked
• 3 tablespoons onion, minced
• 1/2 cup carrot, chopped or grated
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook rice, minced onion, and carrots in oil, stirring often until lightly browned.
2. Slowly add water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Beat eggs and egg whites in a bowl. Stir in milk, peas, and soy sauce. Pour over the hot rice mixture in the frying pan.
4. Cook on medium heat. As the mixture begins to thicken, gently draw a spatula across the bottom and sides of the pan, allowing the egg mixture to cook. Continue until eggs are firmly scrambled.
5. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
