- 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 4 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 cups Spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Kale, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients in advance. Chop the spinach, kale, and green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and quickly scramble them. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped green onions, spinach, and kale to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the greens.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and stir thoroughly to ensure it is evenly distributed. Add the cooked eggs back into the skillet and mix well.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
