Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced (set aside a tablespoon for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided (or another mild flavored oil such as canola)
  • 2 cups cooked short grain brown rice (day old is best)
  • 1 small bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn (about 2-3 ounces)
  • 2 small garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 large eggs
  • lime wedges for serving
Preparation
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add rice, breaking up any lumps. Pat down into an even layer and cook, undisturbed until beginning to crisp, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, adding kale by the handfuls and letting wilt slightly before adding more. Toss occasionally, until rice is heated through and all the kale is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a plate.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic, ginger, and green onions, stirring often until garlic is lightly browned (careful not to burn) around the edges, about 1-2 minutes. Turn heat up to medium sprinkle turmeric over, then stir in eggs. Using a pair of chopsticks or a heatproof spatula, blend whites and yolks with garlic, ginger, and green onions until the eggs are barely set. Return rice and kale to the skillet, tossing occasionally until hot, adjusting heat as necessary. Divide fried rice between two plates and top with reserved green onions. Serve with sriracha sauce.
