Brown Rice Fried Rice

Growing up, my mom made us fried rice all the time, seemed like a staple meal for our family! With my mom being Japanese, we grew up eating a lot of different kinds of Japanese food, we were spoiled! That honestly made all of my siblings and I to be good eaters! I was usually picky about onions and bell peppers, but now as I'm older, I don't mind as much.

This fried rice recipe is super easy! All items were things I already had in my fridge! You only need one skillet or pan and a wooden spoon, and don't need to dirty up other dishes.

There are so many "Better Than Take-Out" fried rice recipes all over Pinterest but this recipe really IS better than take-out! It's made with brown rice and I like to garnish it with green onions on top instead of putting chopped onions inside it. I like the flavor more that way.
