*My Shortcuts and Tips

•Buy a bag of matchstick carrots and broccoli florets from produce department
•Use jarred ginger-garlic paste
•Kale or spinach may be substituted for chard
•My version of sweet soy sauce is regular soy sauce with brown sugar+drizzle of molasses+dash of sesame oil+light shake of red pepper flakes
Directions
Cook rice, per package directions [If using jasmine rice in the microwaveable pouch, the yield of pouches should be 3 cooked cups].
While the rice cooks, Remove the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice scallions, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Cut out stems of chards with a sharp knife; either small-dice them for inclusion in the stirfry or discard. Roll chard leaves pinwheel style and chiffonade into ~1/4" ribbons with knife; do same for the cored cabbage leaves. Grate peeled sweet potato on the large side of box grater. Crack eggs into a medium bowl and beat until smooth; set aside.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a wok or large skillet on med-hi until hot. Add mushrooms and broccoli; cook, stirring occasionally, ~4 to 5 mins, or until mushrooms have softened and broccoli is bright green. Season with S&P. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan.
In the same skillet, heat 2 tsp oil on med-hi until hot. Add the garlic, ginger, chard stems and white bottoms of the scallions; cook, stirring constantly, ~30sec - 1min, or until fragrant. Add carrot, sweet potato and ¼ cup water; cook, stirring frequently, 2 - 3 mins, or until the carrot and sweet potato have softened slightly.
Add the cabbage, chard leaves and ¼ cup of water; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 - 3 mins, or until the chard leaves have wilted.
Add the eggs, cooked broccoli and mushrooms to the pan of vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 - 3 mins, or until thoroughly combined and eggs are cooked to your degree of doneness. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked rice and sweet soy sauce to skillet w/veggies, combining well; season w/S&P to taste. Divide the fried rice between two dishes and garnish with the green tops of the scallions.
