Instructions

Sauce

Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and hot sauce in a small bowl, stir until well blended, and set aside.

Base

Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the eggs, cook approx. 1–2 minutes or until just set, place on a separate plate, and roughly chop.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, onions, and red bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until onions are soft, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic and ginger until blended. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, rice, green onions, spinach, cabbage, and reserved chopped egg. Cook approx. 1–2 minutes or until heated through and spinach is slightly wilted, stirring constantly using two utensils as you would a stir-fry.
Remove from heat, stir the soy sauce mixture, and drizzle evenly over all. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately for peak flavors and texture. Makes 6 cups rice mixture plus 1/3 cup sauce total.
