Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails on
Kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped watercress
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 cups cold cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the watercress, carrots, peas, garlic, soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the watercress wilts and the peas heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, shrimp, and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the scallions and sesame oil and serve.

VEGETABLE BROWN RICE

Loaded with carrots, onions and peas, this rice makes a terrific side dish, but it can even stand on its own as a light main course. Raisins offer a slight sweetness, and pecans add a little crunch. --Denith Hull of Bethany, Oklahoma

VEGETABLE-BROWN RICE STIR-FRY



Vegetable-Brown Rice Stir-Fry image

Found this in the magazine "The Best of Mr. Food 15-Minute Recipes". For a quick meal it is pretty good and quick to make. I did change it a little. I use regular brown rice, fresh minced garlic and ginger and chicken stock instead of bouillon and water. I have listed the ingredients from the magazine. You could add any cooked meat to make it a complete dinner.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your stir-fry.
