FOOD FACT: Sesame oil is often used as a flavor enhancer in many Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines. It is the least prone cooking oil to turn rancid when exposed to the air due to its polyunsaturated (omega-6) fat content.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 6 shitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 (12 ounce) bag of veggie rice (I prefer Mann's VegeRice)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and the eggs, stirring until they are fully scrambled. Transfer the eggs to a plate and return the skillet to the stove, adding more oil if necessary. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the veggie rice and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes more or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute more, until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, and scrambled eggs. Serve immediately.
