Beef Fried Rice with Snow Peas

Ingredients
2 egg whites
1 egg
2 teaspoon dark sesame oil, divided
1 pound Laura's 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
1/2 small onion chopped
2 cups snow peas
1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, divided
2 cups cooked long-grain rice, chilled
Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions
1. Combine egg whites and egg in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Place in a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Cook 2 minutes or until done and remove from skillet.
2. Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil to skillet. Add beef and onion and sauté until beef is browned and onion is tender. Remove beef from skillet and keep warm.
3. Add remaining oil to skillet; add snow peas and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; stir-fry 1 minute. Add rice and cook 2 minutes without stirring.
4. Stir in egg mixture, beef, onion mixture and remaining soy sauce and cook 1 more minute or until heated through. Sprinkle with green onions, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.

Cooking Tip: When selecting snow peas look for crisp, flat pods that snap when you break them. They're easy to prepare, just wash and trim the ends.

Cooking Tip: Raw green onions have, in a small number of instances, been connected to food-borne illness. The only reliable way to eliminate this risk is to cook green onions thoroughly. Saute in a skillet for 2 mintues.
