Ingredients

2 cups short-grain brown rice
4 tablespoons canola or olive oil
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 small red onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small carrot, minced (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
4 scallions, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

1

Combine the rice with 4 cups lightly salted water in a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently 25 to 30 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
2

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet, wok, or saucepan. Add the eggs and cook through, stirring to break up into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
3

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and add the onion and carrot and cook until the onion is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the peas and scallions and cook about 2 minutes more to heat through.
4

Stir in the tomato, salt, cooked rice, and eggs and toss until heated through. Fold in the basil.
