Fried Rice Frittata

5 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Fried Rice Frittata is a healthy take on a traditional fried rice recipe. This also becomes a great Egg Foo Young when served with fresh brown gravy.

Fried Rice Frittata with mushrooms, peas and carrots in a panThis easy egg fried rice frittata recipe is healthy, super fast and tasty. It’s easily made vegetarian (cook rice in vegetable broth instead of chicken broth) or gluten-free (substitute Tamari sauce), and the choice of vegetables? Just use whatever’s in the fridge.

These are the vegetables I used for a fried rice version and it was ready in a flash. First, I used ingredients commonly found in fried rice recipes. You could also add some ginger and mung bean sprouts. For a good balance between vegetables, rice and eggs, my total vegetables measured about 2 cups before cooking. eggs, peas, mushrooms, carrots, green onions, rice, soy sauce and sriracha This is made start to finish in one non-stick pan, first sautéing onions, carrots and mushrooms until the onions are soft and mushrooms just start to brown.  mushrooms, onions and carrots in a black pan with wooden spoon Incorporate peas and rice, stirring so vegetables and rice are evenly distributed. Rice, peas, carrots, shallots cooking in a pan with a wooden spoon Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, pepper, soy sauce (or Tamari) and hot sauce. Then pour over rice mixture and redistribute before baking in the oven. Rice, egg, mushrooms, peas, carrots and onions cooking in a pan Bake until set, 15 to 20 minutes and it’s ready to serve! Add some miso soup or some salad for a complete meal. One slice of Fried Rice Frittata garnished with tomatoes and mushrooms on a white plate I added extra fresh mushrooms and green onions for garnish and included more hot sauce and soy sauce at the table. AND if you’re craving a good Egg Foo Young, serve a helping of fresh, low-sodium brown gravy on the side as well. Leftovers work great cold in sack lunches or cut up for toddler finger-food.

This dish is on the table in under 30 minutes and if you have young (or grown-up) family members who don’t care for veggies, this might just change that.

Ingredients 

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice, instant rice is fine (cook in broth of choice for best flavor)

Handful of each of the following:

  • Rough diced carrots
  • Fresh sliced mushrooms
  • Green onions, white and greens
  • Green peas
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 egg whites
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, or Tamari
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce, This will not make the frittata hot, but may be omitted
  • Have extra fresh mushrooms and onions on hand for serving on the side
  • If wanting to serve as Egg Foo Young, prepare your favorite brown gravy and keep warm.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
  • In a 10 or 12 inch non-stick skillet (I used 12 inch, but if you want your frittata thicker, use a smaller skillet), heat 2 Tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add handful of carrots, mushrooms, green onions, and green peas. Saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 6 egg whites, ¼ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 2 Tablespoons soy sauce and 2 teaspoons hot sauce. Pour egg mixture into skillet and make sure vegetable and rice are evenly distributed.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 15-18 minutes, or until set and top begins to golden.
  • Remove from oven, cut as desired and serve immediately with extra vegetables and sauce of your choice.

Notes

  1. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand. This recipe is also delicious with asparagus, or bell peppers.
  2. If you're looking for a Keto or low carb option, substitute riced cauliflower for the brown rice.

    As usual on Sundays we always have breakfast at about noon, so I’m glad I saw this before I started breakfast today. We both thought it was outstanding and a unique version of the normal frittata. served ours with turkey gravy on the side. DELICIOUS!

    I noticed that you have told gluten free cooks to remove the soy sauce from the recipe. As a valuable flavor addition, it is a shame not to know about an authentic alternative. I found a source, a few years ago, for the flavor without the wheat, or Gluten. If I may share?….

    Those who are unable to eat wheat, or need to eat gluten-free, have an alternative to soy sauce, a very authentic and delicious addition to Asian, or Asian inspired, cuisine.
    Tamari Sauce is a non-wheat, non-gluten soy sauce. I use it in all foods calling for soy sauce. I use the San-J Brand, which has been making authentic Tamari since 1804. There are several brands available in stores, usually found near the regular Soy Sauce, or in the gluten free section of the market.
    As those who must go Gluten Free lose many foods available to wheat and gluten eaters, it would be a shame to have to lose ’soy’ sauce too!

    I just wanted all those GF readers out there know they can share in this delicious recipe too!
    Thanks,
    Catie

      Catie, Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I should have researched this better. I’m so glad to know this now and will share it in the future with all my recipes that contain soy sauce. Now I can share my Teriyaki Salmon recipe with friends who need or choose to eat gluten-free because it’s a good one!
