Instructions
Cook your brown rice. Cool in the fridge. Leftover rice from the night before is great for this recipe.
Make up your Sauce: mix together tamari, coconut aminos, raw sugar, garlic and ginger. Set aside.
Heat up a large pan on the stove top: heat 1/2 a tablespoon olive oil and add the beaten eggs. allow to cook and set slightly before using your spatula to scrape it off the pan in long strips. Keep frying until the egg is cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and bacon pieces to the pan and fry until crispy. Add your peas, carrots and corn and fry for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Spoon the rice into the pan and heat through. Mix gently to get veggies all through the rice - but not too vigourously so that the rice ends up mushy. Stir in your cooked egg.
Pour the sauce over the fried rice and heat and stir gently for a further 1 to 2 minutes until combined.
Serve immediately or store in the the fridge in an airtight container for next day lunch.
Notes
To make it Vegetarian: Leave out the bacon and replace with sliced mushrooms.
