Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 10 medium size garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium spicy red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 small size onion, fine chopped
- 200 gram button mushrooms sliced
- ½ teaspoon cooking salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 Cup cooked white rice
- 2 sprigs spring onion, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prep beforehand all the vegetables, herbs, sauce, and seasoning, and place them next to your cooking stove within reach of your hands.
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add garlic, red chilli, and onion. Stir fry over high heat for 1 minute. The aroma of the garlic will start releasing – no need to brown the garlic.
- Add the mushrooms, salt, sugar.
- Cook until they are tender and deep brown. Allow the mushrooms to caramelize slightly, as this enhances their natural sweetness and flavour.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, add the cooked rice, and soy sauce to the wok, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice over high heat coating each it evenly with sauce.
- Let the rice sizzle on the hot wok for a minute to get fried. Do not mash the rice while stir-frying.
- Finish it with green onion and crushed pepper. Mushroom Fried Rice is ready to serve!
Notes
- Substitute sesame oil with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
- From meaty shiitakes, and button mushrooms to delicate enoki, you can use a variety of mushrooms for this fried rice recipe. Each type gives a distinct flavour to the dish.
- Do not add too much salt at once, as soy sauce is already very salty and savoury in taste.
- If you are adding additional vegetables such as peas, carrots, or bell peppers, add them right after caramelizing mushrooms.
