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.
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.
