- Add oil to the pan.
- Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles.
- When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan.

So delicious! I used brown rice which doesn't stick together at all. Didn't have green pepper, so I subbed a zucchini squash. Added 1 1/2 blocks tofu which I browned first and then incorporated at the end. Next time I would decrease the tamari a little bit. [I thought it was a teeny bit too salty, hubby thought it needed salt. That is ALWAYS the case with us!] Thai basil and cilantro would be great additions too. Stir fried some mung bean spouts with a little sesame oil and topped the rice with it for a nice presentation and a bit of crunch. "Yummo" as RR would say! Hubby wants me to make some for his lunches so I'd call it a big hit.

All I can say is YUM!! This was absolutely delicious. I had never used Tamari before. I almost didn't buy it, thinking I would just use regular soy sauce. I am so glad I used Tamari. It definitely has a different flavor. Make sure that you have all of your ingredients chopped/grated and ready to go--including the rice. Once you start the actual cooking, you won't have time to chop the veggies or grate the ginger. I added the peas when I added all of the other vegetables and everything turned out great. There is no doubt I will make this again.

This was a delicious and quick dinner to make. This is a great dinner for Mom and Kid to cook together. I did all the chopping and my 12-year old son was able to stir fry everything together. We had left over white rice so that part was very easy. The only change I made was to reduce the Tamari by half because I didn't think we had enough rice to absorb it all.<br/><br/>I had two marinated chicken breasts (teriyaki/ginger) that I cooked before the rice. After the rice was done, I cut up the chicken and added to the rice for a full meal. Served with avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro on top! Delish! Kids loved it too and couldn't believe they were eating red peppers (though I chopped them very small).

Hi everybody,
I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
