Ingredients
2 cups cooked cold rice (preferably day-old)
4 large beaten eggs
1/2 cup washed and roughly chopped baby spinach
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional pinch of red pepper flakes
Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped scallions
Directions
- Prep and Scramble (5 minutes):
Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil coats the bottom.
Add onions and cook until soft and transparent (three minutes).
Stir your onion on one side so that you can add the beaten eggs. Toss the cook for 2 minutes while scrambling. - Rice and Rainbow (5 minutes):
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
Add soy sauce, ginger powder, black pepper, and red pepper (optional). Combine thoroughly. - Spinach Sensation (3 minutes):
Add chopped spinach and stir for about 2 minutes until the spinach withers and assumes vibrant green color. Consequently, Avoid overcooking to preserve color and nutrients.
Tips:
- Enhance the dish by adding cooked protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Try other leafy greens like kale or swiss chard.
- Short on time? For increased fiber, choose pre-cooked brown rice.
- Make fried rice balls out of leftovers the next day!
