Method to make Mushroom Fried Rice

1. Wash your rice thoroughly rinsing 4-6 times. Swirl the rice around with your fingers but be careful not to break the rice. Remove all water using a sieve

2. Place the washed rice in a pan, add 2 cups fresh water and bring to a boil under medium to low heat, changing it to low heat after 10mins or when the rice is almost cooked. Rice should be cooked al dente.

3. Remove the cooked rice from the pan onto a large tray to cool down

4. Prep all your vegetables: Slice the mushrooms and onion, mince the garlic and ginger together, Chop the spring onions and parsley.

5. Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a Wok or large frying pan

6. Fry the onions for 2min on high heat

7. Add the mushrooms and fry on high heat also for 2 mins stirring almost continuously

8. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir them in and remove the mushrooms from the heat onto a separate plate

9. In the same wok/pan, heat another tbsp of oil

10. Add your whisked eggs and stir gently with a silicone spatula to scramble the eggs

11. Add the cooled down pre-cooked rice

12. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, add the frozen peas, add 2/3 of the spring onions, 1/2 the parsley, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Stir with a spatula lifting the rice from the bottom and folding it over. The rice shouldn’t break or mash, each grain should stay intact.

13. Serve hot, sprinkling the remaining parsley and spring onions as garnish.
