Whip up a fusion of Chinese and Indian flavors in 30 minutes: ginger-cumin-turmeric fried rice with kale, tomatoes, and a sunny-side-up egg. Deliciously unique!
Ingredients:
  • For the rice:
  • 1/2 bunch Lacinato or dino kale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2-inch piece of ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup rinsed and drained chickpeas (about half of a 15-ounce can)
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 to 2 cups cooked basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the eggs:
  • 2 teaspoons butter or olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Slice the kale leaves thinly, including the stems, by stacking them on a cutting board and cutting across. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Stir in the ginger, garlic, cumin, and turmeric and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Prepare the kale: Combine 1/4 cup of water, kale, and salt in a skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the kale is wilted.
  • Combine chickpeas, tomatoes, cooked rice, and lemon juice in the skillet. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with more salt, if desired. Cover the skillet and let sit while you fry the eggs.
  • Prepare the eggs: In a non-stick skillet over low heat, melt the butter or heat the oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the egg whites are almost fully cooked, leaving a small rim of uncooked white around each yolk. Remove from heat, keep covered, and rest for about 30 seconds to complete cooking.
  • Serve the perfectly cooked fried rice into 2 bowls, add a fried egg on top if desired, and finish with a sprinkling of salt and pepper for the ultimate taste experience.
