Fried Wild Rice


Have you ever thought about stir frying wild rice?? I haven't...until today!  This is a simple twist on traditional fried rice, and like many recipes you find on EAT ME, it can be customized based on what is in your fridge. I experimented with an interesting spice combo and I think the dish turned out great.

Servings: 2
Size: About 1 1/4 cup
Points Plus: 5pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooke Time: 25 minutes
Rating: 4 stars - Very Good

Ingredient List:
1 box wild rice
1 egg
1/2 cup peas
1 cup raw onion, cut in long stips
1 cup raw carrot, diced
1 garlic clove, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Dash of red pepper flakes, curry powder, garlic powder & cinnamon
Low sodium soy sauce, optional

Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions.  Prep veggies. Spray a medium sized wok. Start with carrot and  sautee about five minutes.  Add onion and sautee for 3 minutes more.  Add peas, garlic and spices and sautee for about 2 more minutes.  Remove wok from heat and spray a small sautee pan.  Scramble egg and cook it until, well, it resembles a scrambled egg! Add scrambled egg to veggie mixture and return to stove. When rice is cooked add one cup to veggie mixture and sautee for about one more minute.

Tip:
A dash of cinnamon is an excellent addition to curry.
