Recipe: 30-Minute Cast Iron Stir Fry

“I love to take something ordinary and make it really special.” - Ina Garten

Fried rice with egg, green onion, carrots, ginger, garlic and topped with short rib.

What You’ll Need:

serves 2-4 people

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 3 large eggs

• sea salt

• 3 tbsp olive oil, divided

• cracked black pepper

• 1/2 cup shredded carrots

• 4 stalks of green onions/scallions

• 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp peeled or minced ginger

• 1 cup cooked leftover long grain rice

• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Fried rice with egg, green onion, carrots, ginger, garlic and topped with a jumbo lump crab cake.

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook your rice ahead of time, either the morning of or day before. For this recipe, basmati rice was used - follow your packaged rice instructions, and afterwards store the cooked grains in a container, and put away in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Step 2: Once you are ready to make your stir fry, grease your cast iron with olive oil. Get the cast iron nice and hot on top of the stove, then add three eggs. Begin to scramble the eggs in the cast iron, and chop the eggs finely. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the cast iron into a small bowl.

Step 3: After the eggs are removed, add in a little bit of olive oil, as well as, chopped green onion, carrots, ginger, and garlic. Sauté these items in the cast iron for about 2-3 mins.

Step 4: Once your veggies have finished sautéing, add back in your scrambled eggs, and cooked rice from earlier. Mix all of the ingredients in the cast iron skillet.

Step 5: Next, add in sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper into the stir fry. Add additional seasonings to taste. Let the mixture stand in the cast iron for about 5-10 minutes, to ensure all the flavors blend well together.

Step 6: Serve and plate with your favorite protein!
