Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Servings: 3
  • Cuisine: Asian-inspired
  • Course: Main dish
  • Calories: 320 per serving

Ingredients

  • 220 g (about 8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
  • 350 g (approximately 1 ¾ cups) leftover cooked rice, chilled overnight
  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 eggs, beaten with 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 50 g (about ½ cup) green onions, chopped
  • A small knob of butter (around 1 tablespoon or 15 g)
  • Cooking oil as needed (vegetable or canola oils recommended)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in an even layer.
  2. Cook mushrooms without stirring until the bottom is golden and they release moisture. Flip and brown the other side, cooking until most moisture evaporates and mushrooms have a rich color.
  3. Add the butter and let it melt into the mushrooms.
  4. Add the sliced garlic, sauté gently until fragrant but not burnt (about 1 minute).
  5. Remove mushrooms and garlic from the pan and set aside.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs seasoned with salt into the same pan. Let them set slightly, then gently scramble and break into pieces.
  7. Add the chilled rice, stirring constantly to break up clumps and separate grains. Cook until heated and the rice is fluffy.
  8. Season with salt, black pepper, and soy sauce, mixing well to combine flavors evenly.
  9. Return the mushrooms and garlic to the pan; stir to incorporate with the rice.
  10. Toss in the chopped green onions, sauté just until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  11. Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.

Recipe Notes

  • Use leftover rice refrigerated overnight for optimal texture and less sticking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms to let them brown properly.
  • Cook eggs just until set to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Adjust soy sauce last to control saltiness precisely.
