Spelt has recently become increasingly popular among healthy eaters. Cooking softens the grains, but retains their much-loved firmness. Spelt is used in porridges, soups, salads, and is also used as a rice substitute. This recipe is one such example. It uses boiled spelt along with all the traditional ingredients of Chinese fried rice: vegetables, spices, sprouts, and fried eggs. The dish is prepared using the stir-fry technique, stirring frequently, so prepare all the ingredients in advance and place them near the stove to avoid distractions.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds full with water. Bring to a boil. Add the spelt and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly and let cool. This can be done up to 1 day in advance.
Step 2
• Combine the white part of the green onion, garlic, ginger, red pepper, 0.5 tsp salt and sugar in a small bowl and place near the stove.
Step 3
• In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring constantly, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the green onion mixture and continue to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cooled spelt, half the green onions, green peas, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and sesame oil and cook until the spelt is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 4
• Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, and place over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and a large pinch of salt; cook, without stirring, until the eggs begin to bubble, then stir constantly, breaking up the eggs into small pieces, until set, about 30 seconds. Transfer the eggs to the spelt and toss to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions and serve hot.
