SPINACH FRIED RICE



Spinach Fried Rice image

I like to cook fried rice and am always on the lookout for recipes that I could use. This one I made up along the way and by just adding what I had in the refrigerator at the time. I normally don't use lard, but this time, for whatever reason, I did, and the flavor is wonderful because of it.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb rice, brown
1 tsp sea salt or kosher
1 Tbsp black salt
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 tsp basil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 c whole kernal corn
1 c cooked spinach, canned or frozen
1/2 c red wine
water to cover the rice

Steps:

  • 1. In cast iron skillet or another kind of pan, fry the lean ground beef, add the chopped onions and the spices. Chop the meat up as you cook so it will look like taco meat.
  • 2. Add the whole package of rice and mix it all up throughly. Cook the rice with meat until the rice begins to look brown. Add the corn and stir it up with all the rest. Add the spinach, stir it together with the rest. Now add the wine and stir it again. Let it simmer five minutes.
  • 3. Turn down the temperature of the burned to medium high, and add the water. It should cover the rice completely. Place a lid on the pan and just watch it. It is is too bubbly, turn heat down more where it just bubbles very little...more like a simmer.
  • 4. It should take at least thirty minutes to cook, but might be longer if the rice isn't all the way cooked. You want all the water to be cooked out of it. Add more if more is needed.
  • 5. When done, stir it all up to mix it together. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will prevent the rice from becoming mushy when fried.
  • Chop the vegetables into small, uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help the rice and vegetables to brown nicely.
  • Cook the rice over high heat, stirring constantly: This will help to create a crispy texture.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the rice to taste with soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Spinach fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious meal, give spinach fried rice a try.
