| Rinse rice well in a sieve under cold running water. In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil, add rice, bring to a boil again, stirring with a fork.

In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, heat canola oil. Add eggs and fry until half cooked. Add rice, breaking up any lumps, stirring quickly to coat the rice. Reduce heat to medium low; add veggies and green onions. Cook, turning rice mixture gently but frequently, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce, Sesame Oil and flax seed. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 3 minutes. (*To toast flax seed, spread Flax Seeds in small metal pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes. Stir while toasting.) |
