Beef Fried Rice

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
Vegetable cooking spray
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 pound Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup frozen green peas
1/4 cup low-salt soy sauce
1 tablespoon Thai style chili sauce
Green onions (optional)


Directions
1. Heat vegetable cooking spray in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add egg whites; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally; remove and set aside.
2. Cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until beef is browned; drain.
3. Add onion and red pepper; stir-fry 5 minutes. Add rice, peas, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in reserved egg and sprinkle with green onions, if desired.



Makes 4 servings.

Cooking Tip: When buying soy sauce, look for naturally brewed soy sauce without preservatives and artificial coloring. It has a better flavor.

Cooking Tip: Raw green onions have, in a small number of instances, been connected to food-borne illness. The only reliable way to eliminate this risk is to cook green onions thoroughly. Saute in a skillet for 2 mintues.

    Thanks Laura!

    I forgot to add, to make it even healthier...I doubled or tripled the vegetables that it calls for (double the peas and onions and red peppers) but I also added carrots and green peppers...it was really good...
