VEGETABLE FRIED RICE WITH EGGS AND GREENS

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.
