'Olive-Vegetable' Fried Rice 欖菜炒飯

'Olive-vegetable' 欖菜 is a typical side dish on the Chaozhou table.  It is giant mustard greens salted and shredded then  cooked slowly with black Chinese olives 烏欖 and its oil.  We not only love it as an accompaniment to congee and rice, we cook with it often too.  Here is a simple fried rice.  Day old rice is stir-fried with egg, 'olive vegetable' and scallion; very simple and unexpectedly tasty.
