Hoisin Spare Ribs and Coconut Fried Rice

At the store the other day, I snagged 3 lbs of spare ribs for under $2/lb and decided to test them out in the pressure cooker. I also had some leftover white rice and veggies, so while the ribs were cooking, I made some fried rice using a new friend in the kitchen - coconut oil.

1 1/2 T soy sauce
1 egg
1 T scallions
1. Heat 1 T coconut oil in a wok over medium heat.
2. Saute the garlic and powdered ginger in the oil for 30 seconds.
3. Add the rice and break up the clumps with a wooden spoon.
4. Add the remaining 1 T of coconut oil and thoroughly coat the rice.
5. Saute, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well.
6. Add the vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes.
7. While the veggies are cooking, whisk up the egg in a small ramekin, and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to make a mini scramble.
8. Add the egg to the rice mixture and use the wooden spoon to break up the egg.
9. Garnish with scallions and serve.
