Turned out grrrrrrreat we all enjoyed but I think next time I will try onion instead of mushrooms as I was sure to pick them out of kids and u can use whatever veg u have on hand to add, I had a bag of steam able broc cauliflower and carrots and cooked it while i made the rest then added and was perfect but corn and peas or anything really about could work in this and it actually tastes similar to Chinese takeout instead of not being as it's a healthier recipe. We had with teriyaki chicken and dribbled a lil sauce over too yum can't wait to reuse and tweak and try diff things with this recipe as you can renew and revise to make many diff mixtures thanks and bless you all

OMG I love this for its easiness. I had some cooked rice in the freezer (Doongara because as I diabetic I find it works best for me) which I defrosted which was more than a cup, a little over 1 1/2 so upped the vegetables though discovered I was out of brocoli but subbed cauliflower and as I had a knob of zucchinni left I halved and sliced and added but otherwise followed through and it was easy peasy and we loved it with our recipe #144814 (though I used drumsticks instead of drumettes). The new thing for me was to add the egg (so used to cooking it separately) but was pleased with the result in this method. I would recommend if you boil your vegies make sure you drain them well before adding otherwise you will get a gluggy mess (past youth talking back at me :lol: ) Thank you Susie Zyphur, made for Healthy Choies ABC.

Although I often serve a combo of brown rice & peas, this expanded version also expands the satisfaction ~ VERY, VERY NICE! I did omit the mushrooms, although another time I might just BARELY cook them & then add them to the finished rice! It's not that I don't like the taste of the mushrooms ~ I just don't like them cooked until they're limp! Thanks for a great keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC tag]
