Sesame Shiitake Fried Rice

This is a classic way to use up any leftover cooked rice, whether it be short or long-grain and brown or white rice – just be sure the rice you start with is cold. To make this vegetarian, replace oyster sauce with hoisin sauce, or to go in the opposite direction, pick up a hot, roasted chicken or some BBQ pork from the prepared food counter, then chop or shred meat and stir into hot fried rice.

What You’ll Need:

Ingredients

2 tbsp	vegetable oil	25 mL
2	eggs
2 tbsp	water	25 mL
10 oz	shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced (about 4 cups [1 L])	300 g
4	green onions (white and green parts separated), thinly sliced
3	cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp	grated fresh ginger	15 mL
4 cups	cooked U.S. short- or medium-grain white rice	1 L
3/4 cup	frozen peas	175 mL
2 tbsp	sodium-reduced soy sauce	25 mL
2 tbsp	oyster sauce	25 mL
1 tsp	Sriracha sauce, optional	5 mL
2 tsp	toasted sesame seeds	10 mL
2 tsp	sesame oil	10 mL

Directions

Heat nonstick wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; add half of the oil, swirling to coat. Beat eggs with water; cook in thin layer until set, about 1 minute. Transfer ‘omelette’ to plate; wipe out wok and return to stovetop over medium-high heat; add remaining oil. Add mushrooms, white parts of green onions, garlic and ginger; stir-fry until lightly browned and mushrooms are softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in rice, peas, soy sauce, oyster sauce and Sriracha sauce (if using). Stir-fry until rice mixture is heated through and fairly dry, 3 or 4 minutes. Roll up and thinly slice omelette; stir into rice mixture.

Remove from heat; stir in green parts of green onions, the sesame seeds and the sesame oil.

Makes 4 servings.
