Fried Rice with Spring Vegetables and Fried Eggs – from Bon Appetit

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bunch ramps (about 5 ounces) or 2 bunches scallions, white and green parts separated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • ½ serrano chile, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½-inch piece ginger, peeled, grated
  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend
  • 3 cups leftover cooked rice or other grain
  • ½ bunch asparagus, sliced into 1-inch pieces on a diagonal
  • 1 cup shelled fresh peas (from about 1 pound pods) or frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon (or more) white or regular soy sauce

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • Cut ramp bulbs in half and slice greens into 1″ pieces.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
  • Cook ramp bulbs, shallot, chile, and ginger, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add beaten egg and stir to break up; cook just until set, a matter of seconds.
  • Add rice; toss everything together, then let cook without disturbing until rice begins to crisp, about 1 minute.
  • Add asparagus, peas, and three-quarters of ramp greens and toss, breaking up rice as needed.
  • Cook until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to coat. Give it a taste; you may want to add a little more soy sauce.

Divide fried rice among plates. Top each with a fried egg and shower with remaining ramp greens.
