Equipment

1 large wok or frying pan

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided use
2 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup frozen peas
1 clove fresh garlic minced
2 cups cooked and cooled rice preferably day-old
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 green onion chopped

Instructions

Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs, scramble quickly then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add butter and the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the peas and garlic, cooking for another 1 minute.
Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, pressing down slightly for a crispy texture. Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to coat the rice evenly.
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix well. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, stir once more, and serve hot.
