Fried Rice with Spinach, Peppers, and Smoked Paprika

Fried Rice with Spinach2

With fresh spinach from our garden, some chopped yellow peppers, and smoked paprika for an aromatic smoky flavor, extra containers of steamed rice from the previous night’s Chinese takeout is transformed into a delicious vegetarian meal. Grilled peaches add a touch of summer sweetness and a lovely contrast to the spicy warmth of the paprika.

Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over med-high heat, add one chopped yellow pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes until softened, stir in 2-3 cloves chopped garlic, cook for another minute.  Add 4 cups of fresh spinach (or two 8 ounce packages), continue stirring until spinach is wilted. Remove the peppers, spinach, and garlic from the pan and set aside.

Add another tablespoon of peanut oil, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the oil, stir in two containers of chilled steamed rice* and fry until golden brown, tossing or stirring frequently so the beautiful crimson color of the paprika is evenly distributed. Stir in the peppers, spinach, and garlic.

Enjoy 🙂

*Note: Refrigerated leftover rice produces the best fried rice because it’s drier, if you cook your own rice, be sure to chill it (uncovered) before frying so it doesn’t clump up.

    Very simple and quick meal. Great way to use your leftover rice. And that grilled peach does add summer to the recipe.

    I love the way you describe your dishes…just reading about this easy vegetarian meal made my mouth water. I have never thought to add peaches to fried rice, but I imagine it is a lovely addition. Thanks for sharing!

    Priscilla, this looks great. I had fried rice tonight for dinner myself. Last week my version also included spinach.

    I agree with you about the paprika– I like the color it lends to the rice.

    Thanks for posting!
