Optional: 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut cream. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in the kale and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tbsp of coconut oil and sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
For the aromatic sauce, combine lemongrass, galangal, palm sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and discard solids. Return liquid to saucepan and cook until reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the breakfast bowl, spoon rice into each of six bowls. Top with sweet potato hash, sautéed vegetables, mushrooms, and a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Drizzle with aromatic sauce and garnish with cilantro leaves. Optionally, sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts on top for added crunch.
