📋 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice (use leftover rice for best texture) 🍚
• 2 large eggs, beaten 🥚
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.) 🥕🌽
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped 🧅
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 🍶
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for flavor) 🛢️
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray 🛢️
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped 🌿
• Salt and pepper to taste 🧂

📝 Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

1. Cook the rice:

• If you don’t have leftover rice, cook 1 cup of brown rice and allow it to cool. Leftover rice works best because it’s drier and will fry more crisply.

2. Scramble the Eggs:

1. Heat a skillet:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

1. Cook the eggs:

• Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook until scrambled, breaking them into small pieces. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables:

1. Cook the vegetables:

• In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil or cooking spray. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.

1. Add mixed vegetables:

• Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.

4. Add Rice and Seasoning:

1. Add the rice to the skillet:

• Stir the cooked rice into the vegetables, mixing everything together. Press the rice into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a minute to get a bit crispy.

1. Season:

• Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) over the rice, stirring well to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Finish the Dish:

1. Return eggs to the skillet:

• Stir the scrambled eggs back into the rice mixture.

1. Add green onions:

• Toss in the chopped green onions and give everything one last stir.

6. Serve:

1. Serve hot:

• Divide the Weight Watchers Fried Rice into servings and enjoy immediately!

🍽️ Tips:

• Add protein: For extra protein, toss in some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
• Make it spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for heat.
