TOM'S FRIED RICE

Vegetable spray
1/3 pound leanest ground round beef
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup sliced green or red bell pepper
1 small onion, sliced (about 1/3 lb)
2 cups cooked white rice (cooked without added fat or salt)
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash freshly-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (for serving)

Spray a nonstick skillet with vegetable spray; heat skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, add ground beef; cook, stirring to crumble chunks until no longer pink; place in a bowl and keep warm.

Add oil to skillet and return to medium-high. When hot, add garlic, pepper, and onion; cook until just tender-crisp.

Return meat to skillet with vegetables, add rice, and gently combine. Continuing on medium-high heat, add egg substitute to skillet, and stir constantly until it barely cooks; add salt and pepper.

Serve with soy sauce.
