- (A day before you plan on making this dish) prepare 4C cooked brown rice.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat a little evoo. Cook the first set of veggies until soft. I wait to add the basil until the last few minutes of cooking.
- Remove veggies from the pan, replace with rice. Heat the rice for a minute or so, stirring to distribute heat evening. Add a little bit more evoo at this point
- Mound the rice so there is a hole in the middle. Crack the eggs into the hole. When the eggs are mostly firm, scramble and stir them into the rice. The timing of when you stir in the eggs will determine how dry your final dish is, so follow your own tastes.
- Add the cooked veggies back into the pan and stir. Squeeze in the juice of 1lime, along with 4-6 shakes of fish sauce.
- Add the second set of veggies, stir once, and remove from the pan.
- Additional lime juice can be squeezed on at the table.
