VEGETABLE EGG FRIED RICE



Vegetable Egg Fried Rice image

Light and fluffy are words that should describe well-made fried rice. It shouldn't be weighed down with soy sauce or oil. Using eggs is the key to keeping it light. Cooking the rice right into the wet egg creates a pillowy, fluffy fried rice.

FRIED EGGS WITH GARLICKY GREEN RICE



Fried Eggs With Garlicky Green Rice image

Fried eggs are a simple vegetarian staple. But set them on top of garlicky kale- and herb-flecked rice, and they form a deeply satisfying supper. This recipe is endlessly customizable: Go with what you have - reheated leftover rice works equally well as a fresh pot - or use any whole grain you have. The secret here is locking flavor into the grains by stirring in garlic herbs while the rice is warm. To finish, be generous with the lime - the acid brings all the flavors up a notch - and play around with your tolerance for garlic and heat. Lastly, don't be afraid to raid your fridge: Avocado or leftover beans would be right at home here, too.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups brown or white basmati or long-grain rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large eggs
Black pepper
1/2 small bunch kale, stems removed and leaves finely chopped (about 1 packed cup)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, stems discarded and leaves finely chopped (about 1 packed cup)
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, stems discarded and leaves finely chopped (about 1 packed cup)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
4 small pink radishes or 1 large watermelon radish, thinly sliced
4 ounces cotija cheese or queso fresco
2 limes, cut in wedges
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

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.

2 cups long-grain brown rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 large Eggland's Best eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups spinach, chopped into 2-inch-wide pieces, washed well
1 bunch bok choy, about 2 cups, chopped into 2-inch-wide pieces, washed well
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1-inch piece of gingerroot, peeled and finely minced
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 medium red pepper, julienned into 1 1/2-inch slices
6 scallions, greens cut on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch slices and whites sliced down the center first then cut the same as the green ends (plus more chopped fine for garnish if desired)
3 small or 2 medium carrots, cut in half lengthwise, then cut in 1/8-inch-thick slices cut on the diagonal
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce, plus more for serving if desired.
Toasted nori sheets for serving, cut into strips with kitchen scissors

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.

Categories     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 cups shredded kale (from 1 small bunch)
4 ounces zucchini (or broccoli or green beans), chopped (1 cup)
Kosher salt
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
4 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves)
2 cups cooked white rice
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 cup frozen carrots and peas, such as Green Giant
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet over high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; add kale and zucchini. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until zucchini is bright green and kale is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add rice and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; cook, stirring to break up rice, 1 minute. Stir in sesame oil and carrots and peas; season and cook 1 minute.
  • Make 4 wells in mixture; divide remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil among them. Crack an egg into each well; season. Reduce heat to medium and cook until whites begin to set, about 3 minutes. Cover, turn off heat, and let stand until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help the rice stay separated and not become mushy.
  • Chop your vegetables into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the rice and vegetables.
  • Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help the rice and vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: Cook the rice and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the rice and vegetables constantly: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the rice and vegetables to taste: Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the vegetable fried rice immediately: This is when it is at its best.
