Ways to adjust the recipe to better fit your goals:

• Vegan: substitute the eggs for 1 package of extra-firm tofu, ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric. To cook, crumble the tofu into the skillet with 1 teaspoon of oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring, flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the tofu from the heat and continue following the recipe, except reduce the soy sauce in step 2 to just 1 tablespoon.
• Low-carb: use cauliflower rice instead of the brown rice. 
• Easier: use a bag of frozen carrots and peas, rather than the edamame and diced carrot. 
• Cheaper: use peas instead of edamame. 
• Higher protein: add cubed tofu, shrimp, cooked chicken, or ground turkey. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover proteins!
