Step 1: If you don't have cooked brown rice ready, cook it according to the package instructions. Let it cool slightly to prevent clumping.
Step 2: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for about a minute.
Step 3: Add the frozen peas, carrots, and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and tender.
Step 4: Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet and stir well, breaking up any clumps.
Step 5: Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet, crack the egg into the empty side, and scramble until fully cooked, then mix it into the rice.
Step 6: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the garlic powder over the rice. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7: Serve hot, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or lime if desired.
