Ever Wonder what to do with all that dry looking left over brown rice?
Well wonder no more my friend. Kale fried rice is the answer.
Kale Fried Rice, adapted, but really no longer even really related to Gweneth Paltrow's kale fried rice
INGREDIENTS
Your left over brown rice (I had about 3 cups so I will just give you the amounts that I used)
kale-- cut into ribbons then chopped
5 green onions, from about halfway up the stock to the white tip
2 cloves garlic
3 eggs
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1/8 cup soy sauce (or just pour some in to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Steam the kale about 7 minutes or until the color has changed and the leaves are wilted. After about a minute, add the steamed kale and fresh chopped green onion into the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until the garlic and onion is fragrant and the kale is tender.
I know this is a little bit of a pain but set the mixture aside.
Beat the eggs together and make sure the rice is out and the clumps are broken up (you may need to use you hands for this).
Add a little more oil to the pan. Once heated, pour the egg in and immediately pour in the rice and soy sauce. Add the steamed kale mixture on top.
Stir! Cook about 4 minutes this way. I like to let the bottom brown a little so there are some crispy clumps.
We had it vegetarian-style with a side of brussel sprouts. If you are
eating meat, I would recommend chicken. You could even make some on the
side and mix it in in the last few moments. If you're doing it that way, add some fresh peas in when you are sauteing the garlic and kale mixture, then you have an all-in-one meal.
