->Fried Rice 01 <-

2 medium carrots, scrubbed or peeled and cut into matchstick pieces

2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut diagonally in

1 Tablespoon peanut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil

4 green onions with tops, sliced in

1" pieces

3 cups cold cooked long-grain brown rice

Tamari or soy sauce to taste

In a large skillet or wok, heat water or broth to boiling. Add

carrots and green beans, and simmer, covered, until vegetables are

tender. Remove lid and cook until water is evaporated. Transfer

vegetables to a dish and add oil to the pan. Stir-fry green onions

Feel free to substitute chopped cabbage, halved Brussels sprouts,

fresh green peas, or other vegetables for the green beans. I

substituted with bean sprouts and peas.
