Fried rice is a delicious Asian-inspired dish that you can make with leftovers from last night's dinner, infusing it with vibrant new flavors. It's made with cooked rice, cooked meat (anything you have in the fridge: beef, chicken, ham, pork), mushrooms, fried eggs, vegetables, and aromatic spices. All ingredients are added one by one to a wok (or nonstick pan) and fried over high heat, stirring frequently. The result is delicious, just like something you'd find in an Asian restaurant.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place the mushrooms in a small bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak until plump, about 20 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and quarter the mushrooms. Set aside.
In a well-seasoned wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the entire bottom. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan to create a large egg pancake. Lift the edge of the egg to allow the raw egg to drip into the pan. Once set, remove it from the pan to a cutting board. Let it cool and cut into 2-cm pieces.

Wipe the pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining peanut oil over high heat. Add the green onions and carrots and sauté for 1.5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, chili pepper, and ginger and sauté for another minute. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add the meat, green peas, and reserved egg; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.
