Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 bunch swiss chard, stems finely chopped and leaves cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups baby kale, chopped
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and julienned
Toasted sesame seeds, optional garnish
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan and continue to heat for an additional minute. Add the scallion, ginger, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan. Cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the rice and toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the crispy rice from the bottom of the pan and stir well to distribute. Repeat this step to create layers of
- crispy, golden brown rice. Add the stems of the swiss chard and repeat that step one more time. Add all of the greens along with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Carefully start to stir in the greens. It will get easier as they wilt. Cook until fully wilted and incorporated into the rice about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Serve topped with sliced avocado, julienned cucumber and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds if desired.
