Egg-Fried Broccoli Rice

This Egg-Fried Broccoli Rice, which substitutes riced broccoli for actual rice (or the more traditional veggie-based alternative, cauliflower rice), is a delicious way to up your vegetable intake. And when using frozen vegetables, it can be on the table in fifteen minutes, making it a great weeknight meal.

Featured Ingredients

Broccoli is a super nutrient-dense food particularly rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and phytonutrients, especially glucosinolates. These are sulfur-containing compounds that break down into bioactive isothiocyanates and indoles – compounds that are absolute rock stars as far as human health is concerned!

Shrimp is a fantastic source of iodine, providing 161% of the daily value per 4-oz serving, along with at least 10% or more of the daily value of 14 other different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, functional fats, phytonutrients and protein.

Eggs are full of nutrients! A single serving of 2 eggs provides at least 10% or more of the daily value of 17 different nutrients, with the yolk containing the vast majority of the nutrition.

Notes

Keep it simple with frozen stir fry vegetables and pre-riced frozen broccoli. This cuts way down on the prep time for this meal, so you can have dinner on the table in about 15 minutes! If you can’t find riced broccoli, make your own by blending 12 oz broccoli florets in a food processor. 

You can use shrimp instead of prawns, or switch it up entirely by using chicken. You can also up the protein of this dish by using a full pound of prawns instead of 8 ounces.
