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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the skillet, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for garnish.

Step 9

Serve hot as a main dish or a side.
