Instructions

Rinse the brown rice. In a medium-sized pot, combine the water and rice. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, then reduce the heat to simmer and cover for 25 minutes.
Best Results: Use cold, day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice contains more moisture and can become mushy. Chilling cooked rice overnight not only creates a better fried rice texture but also increases resistant starch, which may helps to reduce the meal's glycemic impact.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, chile paste, and maple syrup. Set aside.
In a large skillet over high heat, 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil. Cook the shrimp, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and cook for another minute.
Add in the sugar snap peas and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame seed oil and remove it from heat. In a large serving bowl, combine prepared rice and shrimp mixture. Serve.

Laura's Recipe Tips

🌀 Harmony Tip: Make your rice 12–24 hours ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator before making fried rice. As the rice cools, some of the starch becomes resistant starch, which may help slow the blood sugar response while creating the perfect texture for fried rice. Finish your bowl with plenty of colorful vegetables and a quality protein for a balanced, satisfying meal.
