Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients for the fried rice. Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into strands. Thinly slice the onion and chop the green onions. Whisk the two fresh eggs in a separate bowl.
Step 2
It’s important to sauté the ingredients that take the longest to cook first to build flavor. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent and slightly sweet, releasing a lovely aroma.
Step 3
Once the onions are softened, add the chopped green onions to the pan. Continue to stir-fry until the fragrance of the green onions is released, infusing the oil with their flavor. This step really elevates the overall taste of the fried rice.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the enoki mushrooms. Add the separated enoki mushrooms to the pan with the other vegetables. Stir-fry quickly until the mushrooms are just wilted. Be careful not to overcook them, as they release a lot of moisture.
Step 5
Pour the two whisked eggs into the pan with the vegetables. As the eggs begin to set, gently scramble them with a spatula, mixing them with the vegetables. Ensure the eggs are cooked through but still tender, creating a delightful texture.
Step 6
Add the two bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and gently toss everything together. Stir-fry until the rice is well combined with the vegetables and eggs, allowing the rice grains to absorb the flavors.
Step 7
Now for the magic touch – the seasonings! Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the pan. Stir-fry quickly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated and the flavors meld together. Increasing the heat slightly during this stage can enhance the aroma and taste.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for that irresistible nutty aroma and turn off the heat. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its fragrance. Your delicious, glossy fried rice is now ready!
Step 9
Transfer the finished fried rice to a serving plate. Arrange it attractively. Prepare some kimchi to serve alongside for a complete and satisfying meal. The vibrant colors of the fried rice make it visually appealing too.
Step 10
Take a generous spoonful of the fried rice, top it with a piece of cool kimchi, and enjoy! Experience the delightful combination of chewy enoki mushrooms, soft eggs, fluffy rice, and the rich, savory sauce. You’ll be surprised how quickly you finish this wonderful meal!
