PORK AND GREEN BEAN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop onto a plate.
• Add the pork to the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry, breaking up any clumps, until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then add the green beans, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, pork and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring to break up the egg and mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the scallions and lime juice and serve.

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.

SPRING GREEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a small bowl beat eggs and 1 tsp. soy sauce; set aside. In a wok or large skillet heat toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add egg mixture; stir gently until set. Remove egg; cool slightly. Using your hands, roll the cooked egg into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the egg into strips; set aside.
• In the same skillet heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds. Add cabbage; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add edamame and peas; cook for 2 minutes. Add rice and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce; cook and stir 2-4 minutes or until heated through. Add egg mixture and green onion; cook and stir about 1 minute or until heated through. Top with crushed red pepper, if desired.
• Note: I like to sprinkle more soy sauce on my own serving, which is optional.
