Ingredients
1/2 c Jasmine rice
4 T celery, diced

Old-school Translations
c=cup; T=tablespoon; t=teaspoon
Procedure
Cook rice according to the package instructions. Once done, transfer to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water, completely draining any excess water. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
For the scallions, separate the green and white, roughly chopping the green and thinly slicing the white into strips.
Set wok over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add bell pepper and celery and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to high and add chopped green onions, sweet potato strings and rice, stirring occasionally. Rice should be cooked until it’s slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Pour in soy sauce and cook rice 3 to 5 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
To finish, stir in crispy collard greens and scallion strips.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with spiced peanuts and fried chicken livers.
