Did  you know Arkansas is the nation’s NUMBER ONE rice producer and processor?

Numero Uno.

Impressive.

September is National Rice Month.

The USA Rice Federation is promoting National Rice Month by sponsoring a rice recipe and photo contest. Here’s my contribution!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups cooked rice
1/2 lb kale
1 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
3 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 cup diced orange bell pepper (or yellow or red)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Method

Chop the kale and steam for 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for two minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.

Raise heat to medium.

Add steamed kale, bell pepper, scallions and ginger. Cook for two minutes stirring continuously.

Add soy and cook 30 seconds more.  Mix with rice.

Delicious and oh so healthy. Kale is a superfood you know!
