Ingredients

8 dried shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of kosher salt
4 scallions (white and green), thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced carrot
1 large clove garlic, minced
Pinch red chile flakes
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 cups cooked long-grain rice
1 cup cooked meat cut in 1/2-inch cubes, such as pork, ham, beef, or chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted in a strainer at room temperature

Directions

Put the mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with boiling water and soak until re-hydrated, about 20 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, and cut mushrooms in quarters. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a well-seasoned wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the eggs, swirl the pan so the egg forms a large thin pancake. (Lift the edge of the egg to allow any uncooked egg to run to the center.) As soon as the egg has set, turn it out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cool, cut into 1 inch pieces.

Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining peanut oil over high heat. Add the scallions and carrots and stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, chile, and ginger, stir-fry for 1 minute more. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, peas, and reserved egg, cook, stirring until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

I made this recipe this evening and it was lovely. It was fairly quick, easy and flavorful. I was looking for more a veggie... fried rice to compliment the main chinese dish, so I just deleted the meat called for in this recipe. It turned out fabulous. This is definitely now in my 'keeper' file.Read more

WOWzerz!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was a great guide line for fried rice. I halfed the recipe & substituted a few ingredients & still came out... tasting great. Instead of shitakes, I used sun dried tomatoes, scallions were replaced with minced yellow onion & ginger powder was used in place of fresh ginger. Also, for the meat, i used half a piece of Alton Brown's Good Eats meatloaf. Half this recipe was a nice hearty lunch for one & it helped clean out the fridge. Thanks Food Network Kitchens!Read more

YES YES YES...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had a major craving, and you fixed it. I used chicken andouille sausage, because I like the extra spice. My rice was a nice... jasmine long grain. I also added a little more ginger and red pepper than the recipe called for. Oh, and I hate peas... so I have water chestnuts, carrot strips, eggs, regular sliced white mushrooms, and green onion in mine. It is perfect... I now know what I was missing before. The ginger and sesame oil made this an outstanding recipe.! Tks. FNK folks.Read more

Great basic recipe
