Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons high-heat oil (peanut, sesame, safflower, etc.)
  • 3 Tbsp. garlic scapes, minced
  • 4 green onions, chopped, white & green parts separated
  • 1 Tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 small head napa cabbage, core removed & finely sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 c. finely sliced cooking greens (such as kohlrabi leaves, kale, collards, etc.)
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • pinch of 5 spice powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or cashews
  • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or a large nonstick/cast iron skillet over medium high flame.
  2. When hot, add the garlic scapes, white parts of green onions, & ginger & stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 5 minutes, then add cooking greens & stir fry for another couple of minutes.
  4. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  5. Remove the vegetables to a serving bowl & wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  6. Put the pan back on the stove & heat with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
  7. When hot, crack eggs into the center. Scramble lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces.
  8. Fold in the rice & toss with the egg until well combined, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula.
  9. Return the stir-fried vegetables to the pan & season with soy sauce, & more salt, pepper, 5 spice powder (if desired).
  10. Toss everything together to heat through. Garnish with reserved scallion greens & peanuts.
