Instructions
  1. Heat wok or skillet over medium-high heat. The trick is to add ingredients in steps to keep the pan from cooling down too much; keeping heat constant yields better results.
  2. Add vegetable oil and heat until hot. (You can cut the oil if you want with the use of non-stick pans. However, the oil in this dish is minimal.)
  3. Add leeks and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  4. Add mushrooms and peppers. Stir-fry for another minute.
  5. Add rice and cook until hot. (You can add a little sea salt and white pepper to side of pan and “get it smoking,” then mix in.) Mix together and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  6. Add wine and soy sauce, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Add spinach, scrambled eggs, and sesame oil at the last minute, and toss to wilt.
  8. If you plan to add the sunny-side-up or poached eggs, place fried rice in bowls in a warm oven. Make the eggs and place on top, and then drizzle some of the pepper sauce over it.
