CRISPY KALE "CHIPS"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

CRISP KALE CHIPS WITH CHILE AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make sure the kale is dry; if it is not, it will steam rather than crisp in the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss kale pieces with olive oil and kosher salt; you may need to do this in 2 batches. Massage the oil onto each kale piece until the oil is evenly distributed and the kale glistens. Spread the kale out on 2 17-by-12-inch jellyroll pans (or do this in batches). Bake the kale chips until the leaves look crisp and crumble, about 12-16 minutes. If they are not ready, bake for another 2 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with the lime zest, sea salt and chile powder to taste.

CHILI CRISP FRIED EGG BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the chili crisp to the skillet and swirl until it is all hot and coating the skillet.
• Working with one egg at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and then into the skillet. Season the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are fully cooked but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chili crisp to a large bowl. Whisk in the rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice and baby kale and toss until everything is coated. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each rice bowl with a fried egg and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
