Fragrant Fried Rice Pilaf

shared by Cori H.
Ingredients:

1 c. rice (I used Basmati but it is  also DELICIOUS with Jasmine)
¼ c. oil  (I used coconut oil)
4 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated (I think this is the secret ingredient)
1 -15 ½ oz can white beans, rinsed
1 c. frozen peas and carrots mix, thawed (My crew doesn’t eat peas,  so I just peel and chop up 2 carrots)
1 t. ground cumin
2 T. soy sauce
½ c. chopped cilantro (another secret ingredient)

Directions:

1. Rinse rice thoroughly until water runs clear, drain.  Proceed to follow package directions and cook rice.
2. Meanwhile, in skillet, heat 1 T. oil and cook the eggs.  Add salt/pepper to taste and stir until set.  Set aside.
3. In same skillet, heat 1 T. oil and cook the scallion whites and carrots until crisp-tender.  Season with salt/pepper.  Add the beans until warm. Set aside.
4. In same skillet, heat 2 T oil and the cumin and add the cooked rice.   Spread into a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until rice forms a crust, about 3 min.  Break up the rice and sprinkle the soy sauce.  Stir in scallion greens and cilantro, add the bean/carrot mixture and eggs and heat through.

Enjoy!!
