Ingredients
-
Egg, fresh, whole, raw, 4 large, beaten
Brown Rice, medium grain, 1.5 cup
Chicken Breast (cooked), no skin, roasted, 8 ounces
Shrimp, cooked, 1 oz
Onions, raw, 1 small
Broccoli, fresh, 0.5 cup, chopped or diced
Mixed Vegetables (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots) 1 cup
Lima Beans, .5 cup
Cashew Nuts, dry roasted (salt added), 3 oz
Ginger Root, 0.25 cup slices
Garlic, 4 clove
Scallions, raw, 1 medium
Sesame Oil, 1 1tsp
Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
5 spice powder to taste
Soy sauce to taste
Tips
This works best with leftover rice that had been refrigerated at least 20 hours. Two days is even better.
Directions
Heat half the olive oil in the pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion, diced garlic, matchsticked ginger, and the scallion whites and stir-fry until fragrant and the onions are translucent. Remove, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
Add another half tablespoon of the remaining olive oil. When it is hot, add the beaten eggs and scramble them. Remove those as well, scraping the pan clean if any has stuck.
Turn the heat up, add the remaining olive oil, and once it is hot add the five spice powder and the rice, tossing the rice quickly in the oil to coat. Add the remaining vegetables and protein--including the previously cooked eggs and onions--all coarsely diced, and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low, cover, and allow the vegetables a few minutes to cook.
(You can use any vegetables. Peas are nice, as are fresh baby kale or spinach. Baby corn! Water chestnuts! Bok choy! The more the merrier. You can also add additional protein.)
Serve with soy sauce and allow everyone to doctor their own to their taste.
Serving Size: Makes six generous servings
