Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1.5 cups Mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced or grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (optional, for added umami)
- 0.5 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas (thawed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula or spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the rice to heat through.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Toss in the scrambled eggs, thawed peas, and green onions. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine and heat the peas through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for garnish.
Serve hot as a main dish or a side.
