Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil, divided

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 small bunch Tuscan kale, deveined and chopped
  • 3 cups leftover cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 ½ teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Remove mushrooms from wok and set aside.
  2. Add remaining 1 ½ teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil to wok. Scramble the eggs. Remove eggs from wok and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add bacon to wok and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and some of fat has rendered, 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon from the wok with a slotted spoon. Leave bacon grease in the wok.
