Enlightened Fried Rice

Leftover brown basmati rice makes this Chinese dish a snap.

Think “healthy fried rice” is an oxymoron? Try this. Nutrient-rich brown rice; sweet, briny shrimp; crunchy bean sprouts; soft bits of egg; and the freshness of ginger, green onions, and more, all stir-fried in a minimum of oil.
