Spicy Kale and Coconut Stir Fry
2 tablespoon coconut oil
2 eggs, beaten with a dash of salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 red bell pepper julienned
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
5 Brussels sprouts very thinly sliced
1 medium bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves finely shredded
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
2 cups cooked and chilled brown rice
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha
1 lime halved
Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high
heat. Once the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact,
add 1 teaspoon oil. Pour in the eggs and cook until the eggs are
scrambled and lightly set. Transfer the eggs to an empty bowl. Wipe
out the pan with a paper towel.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and add the garlic,
onions, and additional vegetables. Cook, while stirring until the vegetables
are just tender. Add the kale and salt. Continue to cook, stirring
frequently until the kale is wilted and tender. Transfer the vegetable
mixture to the bowl with the eggs.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add
the toasted coconut flakes and rice and cook,
stirring frequently, until the
rice is hot.
Pour the vegetables and eggs back into the pan. Add
the tamari and sriracha. Stir to combine and break up any large clumps of scrambled egg. Squeeze the juice of half
of a lime over the dish and stir to combine. Pour the stir fry onto a
serving plate and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and
extra sriracha for those who like it extra spicy.
