EGG AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM FRIED RICE

I love fried rice - this is the perfect dish to accompany stir-fried meat or vegetarian dishes. The earthy mushrooms are full of flavour and the tabasco gives this dish a delicious lift. If you don’t like like tabasco you can leave it out or add a few finely diced spicy-sweet pickled peppers.

 

Ingredients | Serves 2

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten 

  • 100g chestnut mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, sliced 

  • 75g frozen green peas 

  • 200g steamed jasmine rice or basmati rice 

  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 

  • 1 pinch of ground black pepper 

  • A few splashes of tabasco sauce

Method

  1. Heat a wok over a high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the beaten eggs to the wok, stir to scramble, then remove and set aside. 

  2. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok and add the mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the frozen peas and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the rice and mix well until the rice has broken down. 

  3. Return the egg to the wok and stir through, then season with soy sauce, sesame oil and a pinch of black pepper. Just before serving, season with tabasco sauce to taste.
