Edamame Fried Rice


This is a mixture of a couple recipes. One from the food network and another from Rachael Ray.

Ingredients:
2 cups instant brown rice
2 T. canola oil
1/2 t. minced garlic
1 medium onion or a bunch of green onions
4 oz sliced water chestnuts (optional)
1 cup frozen edamame (defrosted)
1 cup cooked chicken (optional)
2 eggs, scrambled
3 T. soy sauce

Instructions:
Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile heat canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute a little longer. Reduce heat to low. When rice is cooked, add to pan along with water chestnuts and edamame. Make 3 inch well in center of rice mixture. Add eggs and cook until nearly scrambled. Stir eggs into the rice mixture. Add soy sauce and blend. Serve hot.

Next time I make this I might use chicken stock to make rice and I might marinate some chicken in rice vinegar, garlic and soy sauce and then cook it and add to the fried rice. But this is a good basic fried rice recipe.
