Burnt Garlic Mushroom Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 10 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped Ginger
• 1/4 cup finely chopped Onions
• 1/4 cup finely chopped Celery
• 4 stalks Green Onions, finely chopped (white and green part divided)
• 1-2 Green Chillies
• 4 cups sliced Button Mushrooms, (approx 400 grams)
• 5-6 Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice, short grained/ day old
• 1 1/2 tablespoons light Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon White Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon toasted Sesame Oil

Steps

1. Heat oil in a large wok and add the sliced garlic. Fry on a medium high heat till golden brown. Take out half the garlic and reserve for later.
2. Add ginger, onions, celery, green chillies and the white part of spring onions and stir fry on high heat for a minute or so.
3. Add both the mushrooms and stir fry for 2-3 minutes till the mushrooms caramelize
4. Add rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, pepper, salt and toasted sesame oil and stir fry for 2-3 minutes till everything is mixed well. Don't worry if the rice sticks a little to the bottom. Just scrape it off – those crunchy bits are yum! Sprinkle with the green part of spring onions and the reserved garlic chips and serve hot.
