kcalIngredients
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup spinach or kale, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
Directions
- Crisp the rice: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cooked brown rice and press it down with a spatula to form a flat layer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, until the rice becomes crispy and golden. Flip the rice and crisp the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the rice from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the beef: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the spinach (or kale) and cook until wilted.
- Fry the eggs: In a separate small skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the dish: Divide the crisped brown rice among plates and top with the beef and vegetable mixture. Place a fried egg on top of each serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, and serve immediately.
