Active: 30 Total: 30

We've taken the breakfast theme of this East-meets-West fried rice seriously and even topped it with shredded cheddar cheese! It's a fun meal that comes together very fast.
Smarts: Breakfast sausage makes up most of the flavor in the fried rice, so be sure to get a high-quality version and grab mild or spicy depending on your preference.

  • Oil, cooking - 1 Tbsp + 1 Tbsp
  • Breakfast sausage - 8 oz
  • Cooked rice (leftover from Wednesday) - ~2 cups

  • Apples - 3 , chopped
  • Baby spinach - 4 oz
  • Lemon juice - 1 tsp
  • Water - 1/2 cup
  • Ice - 1 cup

Prep

  1. Shallots - Dice shallots. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

  2. Cucumbers - Chop cucumbers into large chunks (just so they fit better into the blender). (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

  3. Lemons - Slice lemons into wedges. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

  4. Make smoothie - Chop apples (Note: if you know your blender can handle the peels, leave them on; if unsure or using a lower powered blender, it’s a good idea to peel the apples first.) Combine apples, cucumbers, baby spinach, lemon juice, water, and ice in the bowl of a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a splash more water if needed.

Make

  1. Heat a large wok or skillet with first portion of oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots to heated oil and saute for 1 minute to get them started cooking. Add breakfast sausage and saute, breaking the sausage apart, until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.

  2. Add rice to sausage and stir to combine. Pour Tamari and vinegar over rice, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. (Add a splash more Tamari if the rice seems dry.)

  3. Squeeze half the lemon wedges over the rice. Grate cheese directly over top of the rice. Set aside, covered to keep warm.

  4. Heat a nonstick frying pan with second part of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into heated oil and cook until done to your liking - on one side for over-easy or flip to fry on both sides.

  5. Divide fried rice between serving plates. Top each portion with an egg. Serve remaining lemon wedges and hot sauce on the side. Enjoy with smoothie.
