1 Tbsp. light oil

1-2 Tbsp. chopped red or other mild onion

2 c. raw vegetables, cut into small bite-sized pieces- radishes, carrots, peas are good

2 c. of chopped or ribboned greens, such as spinach, chard, kale, beet greens

2 c. leftover, cooked brown rice

Beat egg with soy sauce and sesame oil and set aside.

Saute onion, garlic and ginger in oil for about 1-2 minutes over med-high heat, until softened and aromatic.

Add the vegetables and cook about 2 minutes more.

Next add rice, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Pour in eggs and stir until cooked and well incorporated into the dish.
