Description

A delightful breakfast dish that combines cooked rice, eggs, sautéed mushrooms, and vegetables for a hearty and flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas, scallions)
  • 1 cup sautéed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop your vegetables and whisk the eggs in a bowl.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or wok, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour in the whisked eggs and stir gently until scrambled and fluffy. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté mushrooms, carrots, and bell peppers until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add Rice: Increase the heat slightly and add the cooked rice, breaking apart clumps as you stir.
  6. Season It: Drizzle in soy sauce and sesame oil while stirring. Add the cooked eggs back in and mix everything until well combined.
  7. Garnish: Finish with fresh scallions and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For a vegetarian twist, replace eggs with silken tofu. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables or proteins like chicken or tofu.
