How to make Fried brown rice with kale and turmeric

1. Remove the dark green parts from the scallions, thinly slice, and set aside. Slice the white and pale green parts thinly and set aside separately.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

3. Add the rice, breaking up any lumps, and pat it down into an even layer. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until it begins to crisp.

4. Toss the rice and continue to cook, adding the kale by handfuls. Allow the kale to wilt slightly before adding more, tossing occasionally, until the rice is heated through and all the kale is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a plate.

5. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same frying pan. Add the garlic, ginger, and the reserved white and pale green parts of the scallions. Stir often until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

6. Sprinkle the turmeric over the mixture. Stir in the eggs, using a pair of chopsticks or a heatproof rubber spatula to blend the whites and yolks. Season with salt and cook gently, stirring, until the eggs are barely set.

7. Return the rice and kale to the frying pan and toss to combine. Cook, tossing occasionally, until hot.

8. Add the lime juice and season with salt.

9. Divide the fried rice between plates and top with the reserved scallion greens. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
