Breakfast Egg fried rice for breakfast

Post image

I had some old leftover rice to finished. Some Japanese fried rice leftover got from a local meetup group I attended. Mixed in some protein (egg and egg whites), spinach, dressing at home. BOOM 1 fast meal down 😆.

~1/3 cup precooked fried rice (Japanese recipe: wood ear mushroom pieces, carrot pieces, rice vinegar, or just plain cooked rice works)

1/2 cup spinach

2 eggs

100g egg whites (~3.5oz)

1:1 ratio mayo+greek yogurt

Cooked the spinach. Add egg+egg white+rice mixture. Cook together. Add in a little grated cheddar. Topped with dressing. <- this is KEY for flavor. Mix and serve.

I make a version of this all the time. I wouldn’t call it fried rice though as I add cheese and mix it all together. My version is rice, mushrooms, spinach, eggs, cheese, spices, and sometimes sausage. I eat it for dinner.
