Ingredients

6 cups Broccoli Frozen
3 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
1 Onion Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves Minced
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 cup Carrots Shredded
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce Low-sodium
2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Honey
3 large Eggs Beaten
Salt To taste
Red Chili Pepper Flakes To taste
3 Green Onions Chopped

Instructions

Working in batches, pulse the broccoli in a food processor until it resembles small grains of rice.
Heat 1½ Tablespoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the carrots and riced broccoli. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar and honey.
Fry until the vegetables are heated through and the broccoli is soft but not mushy, about 3-4 minutes.
Use a spatula to move the vegetables to the edges of the skillet, leaving a hole in the middle.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the center of the pan then add the eggs and scramble just until set.
Once the eggs are cooked, break them into small, scrambled pieces and stir everything together.
Sample the dish and add more soy sauce, salt, pepper and chili pepper flakes, as needed. Top with sliced green onions, if desired.
