This is a super easy recipe to whip up — Mushroom Fried Rice — but the real magic is in the chopping, so take your time with it! Pair that with my Sweet & Sour Pork (one of my top pork dishes), and you’ve got yourself the ultimate 'Home Away' meal.

Some dishes, once you master them, will save you serious MONEY! But they do take time—and a bit of knife skills! Now, I’ve gone with easy-cook long-grain rice here, so technically, it’s not authentic Chinese fried rice… but hey, I’ve never been one to follow all the rules!

ingredients

Here's what you need :¬)

serves 4

  • 3/4 cup easy cook rice soaked for 15 minutes & rinsed 3 times

Once your rice is rinsed, place into the fridge to dry or you're going to have a problem. Spitting, boiling hot oil stuffs

  • 2 Tbsp veg oil
  • 1/2 a small white onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely diced
  • 100g white mushrooms sliced
  • 3/4 cup of easy cook rice
  • 1 1/2 cup water add in stages
  • 1 OXO™ veg stock cube
  • 1 tsp dark soya
  • 1 tsp light soya
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 bunch of spring onions chopped into fine disks

method

Rinse and soak your rice first 3 times and for 15 mins, be sure to let it dry out for as long as you can or, you're going to have mess. This needs a really hot stir fry pan. The wider the base the better.

  1. Very hot pan? I mean the hottest ring, on the hottest setting & pan that can handle the heat!
  2. add finely diced white onions & sweat down
  3. add stock cube, garlic & mushrooms stir fry
add mushrooms etc.
mushrooms with seasonings

  2. turn the ring down as soon as it starts to boil & cover with a well fitting lid
add water & cover with a lid
water added to pan

*Depends on your rice and soak time but I use 1 cup of water then add another half cup as needed. Just test a grain & add water if not soft enough. Easy cook rice is great as it does not dissolve to mush. But ta be honest it is the hardest rice to cook!

  1. Once completely cooked add spring onions & stir to combine & allow them to just start softening
