  • 1 tablespoon Peanut or vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Minced or grated ginger
  • 2 stalks Scallions
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the scallions and asparagus, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender yet still crisp.
  3. Next, add the cooled rice to the pan, breaking it up gently with your spatula to prevent clumping. Stir everything together until the rice is heated through.

  5. Serve immediately, garnished with additional scallions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use cold, day-old rice for best results. Adjust ginger and seasoning to taste.
