Description
Fried rice is my favorite go-to meal at the end of a week when I've got little bits of lots of leftovers, but not enough of anything to make a whole meal. It's the perfect use for day or two-old delivery rice and a good way to get in all sorts of veggies for my kids and me. Honestly, I've never met a kid or adult who doesn't like it.
Directions
Heat a large frying pan and add oil to cover the bottom.
When the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook for a few minutes til softened.
Add carrots and peas and cook for another few minutes till peas are bright green and carrots are tender.
Add scallions, kale and zest the ginger into the mix.
Add the rice and cook to warm it through, while de-clumping it with a wooden spoon.
Once the rice is warmed, push the mixture to the sides of the pan and create a well in the middle.
Add a dash more oil and crack the two eggs into the well, scramble with the spoon.
Add the sesame oil, aminos and tamari and once the eggs are a bit cooked, fold in the rice from the sides to combine it all together.
Keep cooking til the rice is a bit crispy and the eggs are fully cooked.
