Easy Peasy Vegetable Fried Rice

3 cups cooked brown rice (I use instant)
1 (10 ounce) package mixed vegetables (I used peas and carrots)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 ounces sliced water chestnuts
2 tsp oil (I like to use sesame oil)
1 tbsp soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Heat oil on med-high. Stir onion, rice and garlic for 5 minutes. Add seasonings to taste. Reduce heat to medium and add vegetables and water chestnuts. Cook 2 or 3 minutes. Push everything to the side (if using a wok) or in a separate pan cook eggs. Add to rice and vegetable mixture. Remove from heat, sprinkle with soy sauce and stir well.

Makes 5-1 cup servings.
