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.

JAPANESE GARLIC GYOZA FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Slice one garlic clove thinly (or use a mandolin) to expose the centre. Mince 1/2 - 1 more glove of garlic (depending on how much rice you use and how garlick-y you like your food) and set aside. Add 1 tbsp of neutral oil to fry pan over medium to medium high heat. Fry sliced garlic until aromatic and just golden brown. Remove only the garlic chips from the fry pan.
• Add the gyoza and fry them for about 2 minutes. Add the rice and butter and break it up with the side of a wooden spatula. Once the rice is coated in the oil and butter, add soy sauce and toss the fried rice using a scooping motion to prevent the rice from becoming mushy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and then toss in the chopped parsely. If you like it extra garlick-y, add in the garlic chips. Serve warm and enjoy!
