Instructions
- Add rice and water to a pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat but keep the lid on and allow it to sit for an additional 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool. If you are using leftover rice, skip this step.1 cup jasmine rice, 2 cups water*
- Add olive oil to your wok or pan over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot in the pan for about 2 minutes. In the meantime, prep your vegetables by peeling and dicing the onion and cleaning and slicing the mushrooms.1 large yellow onion
- Sauté your onions and mushrooms in the hot oil until the liquid releases from the mushrooms and evaporates. Then, add the teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the onions and mushrooms.8 oz baby bella, white button, or shiitake mushrooms, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- Next, use a wooden spoon to push the rice to the outside of the pan, creating a well in the center where the bottom of the pan is exposed. There should be residual oil there from earlier, but if your pan looks too dry, add a dash of oil to the well.3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- In a small, separate bowl, crack the eggs and use a fork to whisk until the yolks and the whites are combined. Season with salt and pepper and pour into the well in the pan.2 large eggs
- Use a wooden spoon to scramble the eggs until fluffy. Then, chop up the eggs with the wooden spoon and stir to integrate the eggs into the rice.
- Serve as is or top with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and/or chopped green onion. Enjoy!2 green onions, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Notes
- *This is a great dish for using up leftover rice! 1 cup of uncooked rice is equal to about 3 cups of cooked rice, so you can replace the 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of water for 3 cups of leftover cooked rice.
- This dish makes a great clean-out-the-fridge meal. Add any veggies you want to use up with the onions and mushrooms in step 3.
