Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoon Sesame oil
10 cloves Garlic minced
½ cup Scallions chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 oz Mushrooms
½ tablespoon Rice Vinegar
½ tablespoon Sweet Cooking Seasoning
½ tablespoon Coconut Amino
1 teaspoon chili crisp oil
2 cups Cooked Rice
Salt
crushed black pepper

Instructions

Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and the white parts of the scallions (reserve the green tops for garnish). Sauté for 30–60 seconds until the garlic turns lightly golden and fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms and increase the heat to medium-high. Spread them out evenly and let them cook undisturbed for a minute before stirring. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn tender and lightly caramelized.
Stir in rice vinegar, sweet cooking seasoning, and coconut amino. Toss well and cook for about 30–40 seconds so the mushrooms absorb the sauces.
Add cooked and cooled rice, along with freshly crushed black pepper and salt as needed. Gently toss everything together on medium-high heat, breaking up clumps without crushing the grains or mushrooms. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Finish the mushroom fried rice by sprinkling the reserved scallion greens and drizzling a little chili crisp oil for extra flavor and color. Give it a gentle final toss and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

A teaspoon of ajinomoto (optional) or mushroom powder and a dash of chili sauce can enhance the savory and umami notes of this mushroom fried rice. Also add a teaspoon of sugar to help caramelize the rice. Keep all your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking. This prevents overcooking or burning while searching for items mid-cook. Feel free to adjust heat, sauces, and garnishes according to your preference.
