For the Garden Vegetable & Egg Fried Rice

1/2 cup basmati rice, cooked and cooled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon ghee
3 to 4 cups chopped garden vegetables, such as broccoli, summer squash, peppers and bok choy
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Lemon-Ginger Tahini Dressing

2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 to 2 teaspoons ginger syrup, to taste
Warm water, as needed to thin
1/2 lime, for serving

Warm the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until fragrant.
Add the fresh ginger and turmeric. Stir briefly, just until aromatic.
Add the broccoli, summer squash, peppers and bok choy. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender but still lively.
Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the open side and cook gently, stirring, until softly set.
Add the cooked rice and fold everything together. Season with black pepper and warm through.
Whisk the tahini, lemon juice and ginger syrup together. Add warm water a little at a time until the dressing is creamy and pourable.
Serve the fried rice warm with the dressing and fresh lime alongside.

This is the kind of everyday meal that makes garden abundance feel effortless. Broccoli, summer squash, peppers and bok choy are warmed with cumin seeds, fresh ginger and fresh turmeric, then folded together with rice and softly cooked eggs.

The lemon-ginger tahini dressing adds creamy brightness, while fresh lime keeps the finished bowl lively. It is simple, flexible and especially lovely when the vegetables are freshly harvested.

From Garden to Bowl

Make It Your Own

This is a flexible garden-to-bowl meal. Keep the rice and egg proportions the same, then use the vegetables that are abundant and in season. Add firmer vegetables first and tender greens last so each one keeps its best texture.
