Not-Really-Fried Rice

From The Biggest Loser Cookbook



Ingredients:
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp hot mustard
1 tsp chili paste
1 tsp sesame oil
3 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
salt & pepper
1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 chopped carrot
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup frozen peas
2 large eggs whites

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mustard, chili paste, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Season the chicken with salt & pepper. Heat olive oil in a nonstick wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Scatter the chicken into the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Add the green onions, carrot, and garlic to the pan, adding more oil if needed. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and peas. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the mixture is hot. Create a well with the rice and veggies to expose the center of the pan. Add oil in the well. Add the egg whites. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes, scrambling the egg whites. Stir to mix the egg into the rice. When the egg is completely cooked, add the chicken back into the pan. Stir in the reserve soy sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Adam turned his nose up at this one. I thought it was good. This cookbook has a weird obsession with cooking spray, so I took some creative liberties with this recipe. Olive and even most vegetable oils are just fine for you, so why not use them? Anywho, I liked this and will probably make it again some day. When Adam's not home.

thanks I couldn't find this recipe anywhere, except well for 8 servings!!
I tried it with hot sesame oil, pretty good and not too hot to where its hard to eat.
I noticed it makes a good size portion for 400 cal.

Why do they call this "Not Really" fried rice, when it's fried?
