Sesame Infused Egg and Rice Scramble (Vegetarian)


Another great Vegetarian recipe that makes no waste of left over rice.  It's quick and easy and makes a delicious light lunch or side dish.


Ingredients

2 Cups of cooked Rice

2 Eggs scrambled

2 teaspoons of Coconut Oil

1/8 cup of green onions, sliced.  White parts only (slice the green part for garnish)

1/2 Tablespoon of Dark Sesame Oil

2 Tablespoons of toasted Sesame Seeds

2 Tablespoons of Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce

Sriracha Sauce 


Instructions

Heat coconut oil in a non stick skillet

Pour Eggs into skillet and swirl in pan.  You want your eggs to be more like an omelette than chunky scrambled

Cook eggs for about a minute then add rice, Sesame Oil and Green Onions (white part only)  and cook for 2 minutes, stirring until rice is heated through

Remove from heat and add Coconut Aminos and Sesame seeds.

Toss to Mix

Pack the Rice into 1/2 cup bowl and invert on plate to serve

Squirt a little Sriracha on top and sprinkle with green onions for garnish and a little kick
