Ingredients

  • a good drizzle of neutral oil
  • 1 small broccoli crown, cut into bite size pieces
  • 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons tamari, or soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 4 cups of cold cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or vegan butter
  • 1 cup raw spinach leaves, roughly chopped, or kale
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds, optional
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, or unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, whisked (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Instructions

  • In a large skillet (or wok, if you have one), heat a good drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add in the broccoli, mushrooms, onions, carrots,  ginger, and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent. Season with garlic salt and give them another toss.
  • Move the veggies over to one side of the skillet and add the butter to the empty side and add the rice to the skillet. Let the rice heat in the pan for about 4 to 5 minutes and then stir it all together. Give that all a stir and then drizzle in 2 to 3 tablespoons tamari. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has cook off. You don't want your mix to be too mushy.
  • Stir in the spinach and sesame seeds and mix those until the spinach has wilted. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Now, if you like eggs in your fried rice, move that rice mixture over to one side in your skillet and drizzle a little sesame sesame oil onto the empty side. Add the eggs into the empty side of your skillet and scramble those until cooked all the way through. Then stir everything in together.
  • Serve with tamari on the table for anyone that may want more and enjoy!
