Vegetarian ‘Fried’ Rice

- About 1 cup baby spinach leaves (I packed them into a measuring cup) chopped
- Soy Sauce
- Ground Ginger
- Non-stick cooking spray
I prepared the rice according to the package (which was 90 seconds in the microwave).
Spray a non-stick frying pan with non-stick coking spray and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft and turning transparent. Add the diced pepper and stir in the rice. Add the spinach, sprinkle on soy sauce and ground ginger. Cook for a few minutes and the spinach will condense down.
That’s it!
I served tilapia on the side. I wasn’t planning on it so I only had frozen fillets. I brushed each one with a bit of soy sauce mixed with a couple of dashes of ginger and a packet of splenda. I baked them in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 20 minutes. They came out really moist! I was surprised.
Points for the rice would just be the rice. Everything else is “free”!

I made this tonight for dinner with a few changes. I cooked my whole grain brown rice in fat free chicken broth, this added lots of flavor! (Vegetable broth would also be great.) I added the soy sauce in both the cooking rice and the veggies I sauted. I also added a scrabbled egg. This added 1 point/cup of rice. This was so filling and delicious! This is a receipe I will make often. Thanks for all your hard work, and keep them comming!
