Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 bunch swiss chard, stems finely chopped and leaves cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups baby kale, chopped
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and julienned
Toasted sesame seeds, optional garnish

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.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables and garlic until they are tender: This will help bring out their flavor.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the rice plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the rice over medium heat: This will help prevent the rice from burning.
  • Stir the rice frequently: This will help prevent it from clumping together.
  • Add the sauce and eggs: Stir until the eggs are cooked and the sauce is evenly distributed.
  • Serve immediately: Greek fried rice is best served hot.
