Healthy Fried Brown Rice

My daughter has a play-off game tonight, I've been working all day and I need something quick, easy, and delicious! This has been a favorite at our house for years, and no one seems to notice the rice is brown :) Serves 4-6

All ingredients available at your local TJ's:
1 box frozen brown rice (I use the organic)
1 bag frozen Soycutash (TJ's uses edamame instead of lima beans)
1 bag Teriyaki Chicken, optional
TJ's Toasted Sesame Oil
3 eggs, beaten in a small bowl
Soyaki Sauce* (or you can use the teriyaki sauce from the chicken)

Place 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil in the bottom of a wok or large saucepan and place on medium-high heat.  Add 1 tablespoon of the soyaki sauce (or defrosted teriyaki sauce) to the eggs and beat again. Add to the heated sesame oil and cook into a flat omelet, flipping once (don't worry if it falls apart). Invert onto a plate and set aside.

Add 2 more tablespoons sesame oil into the pan. If using the chicken, add to the heated oil (careful, there are two pouches of sauce you want to be sure to remove first!) and stir for 2 minutes. Add the soycutash and stir for 1 minute.  Add all three pouches of frozen rice and stir.  Add 1/4 water, stir and cover.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Cut the eggs into strips or pieces and add to the rice mixture.  Season with either the soyaki or the provided teriyaki sauce and heat for another minute or two.

*Soyaki is something I always have on hand, so I prefer using it.  I would use the teriyaki sauce without hesitation if I was out.  I throw any teriyaki sauce I don't use into the freezer and use to marinate chicken tenders for another meal.
