Fried Eggs With Garlicky Green Rice Food

FRIED EGGS WITH GARLICKY GREEN RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt according to package instructions. Set aside, covered, to steam.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil over medium in your largest skillet or griddle until glistening. Crack in the eggs and cook until golden-brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. Cover loosely using a lid or aluminum foil and cook until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny but starting to set. (They'll break and mingle with the rice in a beautiful way.) Season with salt and pepper.
• While the eggs cook, fluff the cooked rice with a fork, then stir in the kale, cilantro and parsley. Add the garlic and jalapeño a little at a time and taste, adding more salt, garlic or jalapeño to your liking.
• Spoon rice into shallow bowls and top with the fried eggs, radishes, cheese and lime wedges. Serve with your hot sauce of choice.

GREEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan and continue to heat for an additional minute. Add the scallion, ginger, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan. Cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the rice and toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the crispy rice from the bottom of the pan and stir well to distribute. Repeat this step to create layers of
• crispy, golden brown rice. Add the stems of the swiss chard and repeat that step one more time. Add all of the greens along with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Carefully start to stir in the greens. It will get easier as they wilt. Cook until fully wilted and incorporated into the rice about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Serve topped with sliced avocado, julienned cucumber and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds if desired.

PASTA WITH GARLICKY GREENS AND FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, rinse the greens, shaking to remove most of the water, and coarsely chop them. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, heat the oil and the garlic, covered, just until the garlic softens, about 5 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to medium and cook just until the garlic begins to crisp and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Spoon the garlic and about 1 tablespoon of the oil into a large bowl; set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the eggs and fry according to personal preference. Transfer to a plate; season with salt and pepper to taste and cover to keep warm.
• Return the skillet with the oil to medium heat, add the greens and salt to taste, cover and cook, tossing frequently, until the greens are tender and the water has completely evaporated, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the type of green. (If the liquid evaporates before the greens are tender, add water about 1 tablespoon at a time.).
• Drain the pasta, return it to the pot, add the greens and reserved garlic oil and toss to combine.
• Divide the pasta among individual plates and top each portion with an egg. Sprinkle with cheese, if using. Serve immediately.

VEGETABLE FRIED RICE WITH EGGS AND GREENS

Steps:

• The day before: Cook rice: In a medium pot, bring rice and cold water to boil on high. Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Cover pot, turn down heat to lowest setting. Cook 15 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit covered 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight. (If you'd like to make this recipe on the same day, prepare rice and refrigerate at least 4 hours before frying.)
• The day of: Remove rice from refrigerator when beginning to prepare the fried rice. Allow to warm up for 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a cast-iron or nonstick pan, heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil. When pan is hot, add beaten eggs. Scramble eggs by moving a spatula continuously in the pan until eggs come together. Stop when eggs are still slightly wet. Remove eggs from pan and set aside.
• Make sure all ingredients are clean, chopped, and ready before cooking.
• In a large pot, put chopped spinach, bok choy, and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook on medium high heat 10 minutes until greens are cooked but still bright in color. Turn off heat. Add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and stir. Set aside.
• In a wok, large frying pan, or large saucier pan, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil on high. When the oil is hot, add minced ginger and garlic. Stir. Immediately add carrots. Cook until carrots just begin to soften-about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on stove top. Add scallions, stir, let cook 15 seconds. Add red pepper, stir, let cook, 30 seconds. Turn heat down to medium. Add tamari. Stir to coat the vegetables.
• Add the rice. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add the cooked egg. Mix. Turn heat to low and cover for 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately. Portion out greens and top with fried rice. Garnish with nori strips and/or chopped scallions.
• To get the best fluffy fried rice use one-day-old cold rice.
• Putting apple cider vinegar on the greens makes their calcium easier to absorb in addition to aiding digestion.
• Instead of sesame oil, try coconut oil or peanut oil, which work best at high heats, or use a good-quality vegetable oil.
