Jade Fried Rice

I got this recipe from Susanna Foo's Chinese Cuisine.
The recipe calls for crabmeat, but I have made it all veg and it works just as well.

Ingredients
2 cups medium or short grained rice, washed and drained
1/2 lbs fresh spinach
Olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 scallions, finely chopped
6 oz jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 cup peeled, diced tomato
2 teaspoons coarse or kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper

1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker
2. Wash the spinach. Remove stems and dry on a towel. Julienne the spinach finely, then dice into small pieces
3. Heat oil in wok and add garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, or until light golden brown.
4. Add the eggs, and cook until lightly set. Use a wooden spoon or a pair of chopsticks to stir and seperate the eggs into small pieces.
5. Add scallions and stir fry 2 mintues
6. Add cooked rice and spinach and mix well. The spinach will coat the rice and turn it green.
7. Add crabmeat, salt and pepper and give it a good stir to make sure it is incorporated.
8. Remove from heat. Just before serving, add the tomatoes and stir gently, so not to let their juices ruin the color of the dish.
