Ummm yeah, this was as good as it looks. This beast of an Asian dish was ridiculously easy to prepare, but does take a little vegetable-cutting time, FYI. Feel free to add any meat and any other veggie you want. Oh, and this makes about 2 servings.
Go ahead and start making a few servings of brown rice. It takes forever and a day to make, so start early. If you really don’t have time, go for white rice!
Here’s the time-consuming part: Cut up about 1/2 onion, a handful o’ spinach, a few green onions (cut it on an angle to look pretty), 4-5 mushrooms, a few cloves of garlic, and about a teaspoon of fresh ginger. Beat an egg and set aside. In another bowl you want add some or all of the following ingredients according to your preferences: soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, a few drops of liquid smoke, teriyaki sauce, and a little honey.
Now, in a super hot & greased wok or nonstick skillet, add your onions.
After they start to get a little color on them, add your mushrooms, ginger and garlic. Oh snap, this smelled SOOO GOOD.
After a minute or two, push the veggies to the side and pour the egg in the middle of the pan.
Once the egg is *almost* cooked, add the cooked rice, green onions and spinach.
After just a few flips in the pan, add your sauce. Hey, start with a little at a time- like maybe a tablespoon for two servings. You don’t want it super salty. Also keep in mind: the teriyaki sauce and honey burn quick, so really, only cook this for a minute or less. Obviously if you start smelling it burning on the high heat, take it off and serve.
Should look something like this! This is a PERFECT side to some kind of seafood, in my humble opinion.

This will be great to through in large shrimp and or scallops
Oh yeah! That WOULD be good!
That looks like a great dish! I'd be tempted to serve it as a main dish, with maybe a few cashews thrown in.
Oh definitely! The bacon grease sounds perfect for that. I always keep grease in the fridge
We love fried rice… it is so great for using up little bits of leftover vegetables and making the whole family like them! And everything is usually on hand. I make it with bacon grease.
I'll try it tomorrow with some shredded chard instead of spinach and add some shelled peas from the garden.
