Diabetic-Friendly Recipe: "Fried" brown rice

For my aunties and my mama! Found a recipe for a more healthy version of fried rice. I am kind of skiddish about cooking brown rice (even though I have a rice cooker) because last time I tried it didn't turn out well.

Enjoy and let me know if you try this! (Nutrition facts and diabetic exchange facts are below the recipe!)

"Fried" brown rice

Ingredients:

Cooking spray

2 teaspoons reduced-calorie margarine

1/4 cup liquid egg substitute

1 chopped green onion

1 1/2 cups instant brown rice

1 1/2 cups 50% less sodium, fat-free chicken broth

1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, unthawed (alternatively, unthawed frozen mixed vegetables can be used)

Instructions:

Coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add margarine, and melt over medium heat. Add egg substitute and stir-fry until egg is set (like scrambled egg). Stir in onion, rice, broth, and peas and carrots; stir to mix. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir, and cover. Let stand 7 minutes, fluff with a fork, and serve.
