Instructions
- 1
Prep: Make sure the cooked rice is cold and the grains are separated. Slice the mushrooms, dice the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and prepare the remaining vegetables.
- 2
Scramble the eggs (optional): Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tsp of the measured neutral oil. Add the beaten eggs and scramble quickly until just cooked. Transfer to a plate.
- 3
Brown the mushrooms: Add 1 tbsp of the remaining neutral oil to the hot pan. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well browned and most of their moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a plate if the pan becomes crowded.
- 4
Cook the aromatics: Add the remaining 2 tsp neutral oil to the pan. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 20–30 seconds, until fragrant.
- 5
Fry the rice: Add the chilled rice and stir-fry for 2–4 minutes, tossing and pressing gently to separate the grains. Cook until the rice is hot and lightly fried.
- 6
Season and add vegetables: Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and the oyster sauce, if using. Toss well to distribute the sauces evenly. Add the peas and carrots and cook for 1–2 minutes, until heated through. Add another tablespoon of soy sauce only if needed.
- 7
Finish: Return the scrambled eggs and browned mushrooms to the pan, if using. Add the spring onions and black pepper. Drizzle with the sesame oil, if desired. Taste and add salt only if necessary.
- 8
Serve: Serve hot. Optional toppings include chili crisp, sriracha, or a squeeze of lime.
