January 01st Rice

This dish is called January 01st rice- a compilation of vegetable leftovers and key ingredients to enable me to detox and overcome the excesses of the past two weeks. Vinegar and ginger both aid digestion and have cleansing properties. The other key element is onion- in copious quantities- this frees up the lungs which are already overworked to fend off colds and flu at this time of year. I add an omelette of two eggs cut into strips as the only protein in this otherwise vegetarian dish. Photo copyright SvD.
