We used a simple fried rice–style preparation for freekeh, a chewy, nutty whole grain. Eggs and lots of colorful veggies mixed in make it a complete one-dish meal. If you can’t find freekeh, you can use farro instead.
Ingredients
Uncooked freekeh
1 cup(s)
Water
2½ cup(s)
Table salt
¼ tsp
Egg
4 large egg(s)
Cilantro
4 Tbsp, chopped fresh
Black pepper
⅛ tsp
Peanut oil
4 tsp
Scallions
3 medium, sliced
Garlic
3 clove(s), minced
Fresh ginger
2 Tbsp, minced peeled fresh
Sugar snap peas
2 cup(s), whole, trimmed and halved
Broccoli florets
2 cup(s), small size
Bell pepper

Soy sauce

Instructions
1
Combine freekeh, water, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in small saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until freekeh is tender, about 25 minutes. Drain in colander. Rinse under cold running water until cool; drain again.
2
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, 2 tablespoons cilantro, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in small bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add egg mixture and swirl to coat pan; stir-fry until set, about 1 minute. Transfer to small bowl.
3
Wipe out wok. Heat remaining 3 teaspoons oil in wok over high heat. Add scallions, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add snap peas, broccoli, and bell pepper; stir-fry just until snap peas and broccoli turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add freekeh and soy sauce; stir-fry until hot, about 2 minutes longer.
4
Divide freekeh mixture evenly among 4 bowls; top evenly with egg and remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Serve with sriracha and lime wedges.
