Health and fertility benefits of Broccoli Fried Rice

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1/2 pound broccoli, stems peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cups julienned carrots
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice (see Note)
4 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a nonstick wok or large skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and carrots and stir-fry over high heat until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and stir-fry until any excess water has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice and stir-fry until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Push the fried rice to the side of the skillet to create a well. Pour the eggs into the well and cook, stirring gently, until nearly set. Toss the fried rice with the eggs and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove the fried rice from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and cilantro and serve the fried rice in bowls.
