Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under running water until the water runs clear. This will help remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed brown rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rice simmer for 25–30 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt (optional) to taste. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 8

Cook the omelet for 2–3 minutes or until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half. Continue cooking for another minute or until fully set. Remove from heat.

Step 9

To serve, divide the cooked brown rice between two bowls or plates. Place half of the omelet on top of each portion of rice.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce for added flavor.
