Quick and tasty fried rice
This flavor filled dish can be served as a lunch or dinner.
Ingredients (one large serving)
- A teaspoon of butter or olive oil.
- 2 eggs (1 yolk removed).
- ¼ of a diced white onion.

Optional (but recommended)

- Sesame seeds.
- Pinch of crushed red pepper.
Preparation
Coat a small frying pan with oil and put it over medium-high heat. Add chopped veggies to the hot pan, except the spinach or kale, as they cook faster than the others.
Cook vegetables until they start to soften. Put them aside and crack the egg into the pan, adding a little oil if needed. Once almost cooked, break the egg with a spatula.
Now add the rice, tamari and greens, pouring a little water to avoid sticking. Once you’ve mixed it all, put a lid on and cook until the greens start brightening. Sprinkle it with toasted sesame oil and a touch of red pepper and sesame seeds before serving.
