Kale-and-Shitake Fried Rice
Food and Wine Magazine, Feb 2016, p.94
5 stars

Love, love, loved this dish.  This is going in our Asian dish rotation.  It's basically a somewhat healthy 'fried' rice especially if you follow my tips below. . . and it's easy to make!  Just a little bit of chopping of vegetables.

Ingredients:  shitake mushrooms, kale, white rice, eggs, ginger, garlic, scallions, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, Kosher salt, vegetable oil

What we changed in the recipe:
  • Used half the oil
  • Used baby bella mushrooms instead of shitake since the shitake didn't look fresh in the store
  • Used triple the amount of kale
  • Used freshly-cooked basmati rice
  • Added red pepper
  • Added ground pork sausage (cooked it separately and added it to the top)
  • Added sriracha to taste at the table
