Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve tomatoes. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage, scallion whites, and as many chili flakes as you like. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium heat; add tomatoes, garlic, kale, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings); cook, stirring occasionally, until kale wilts and water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir sausage and rice into pan with veggies; cook, stirring frequently, until everything is combined, 1-2 minutes (if mixture seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil). Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide fried rice between shallow bowls. Top with scallion greens and serve. TIP: If you like things spicy, sprinkle with as many remaining chili flakes as you like or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.
Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
