Vegan Fried Rice

I love fried rice, but I don't love the greasy-ness and the way it always makes me feel like a bloated cow afterward. No more cute little takeout box for me. I found a way to enjoy fried rice the vegan way: no egg, no meat, just veggies, rice and tons of flavor.

What you need:

Brown Rice (or wild rice, if your feeling...wild)
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 small red onion
1 yellow pepper
2-3 carrots, chopped
1 cup broccoli
1 cup cabbage
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or you can use rice vinegar)
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder

(Feel free to substitute other vegetables. I threw in some baked brussel sprouts and it was mighty tasty)

What you do:
Prepare rice according to package. I suggest you invest in a rice steamer if you don't already have one. Set aside when finished.

Chop all vegetables. Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Toss in onion, carrots and pepper. Turn heat down to medium setting and cook for about 2 minutes. Toss in the broccoli and cabbage, cook until tender. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic powder and cook for a couple more minutes.

Remove veggie mixture from the pan and set aside in a large bowl. Add the perfectly steamed rice to the pan and cook for a couple minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toss the "fried" rice with the vegetable medley and enjoy!
