This vegetarian quick egg and mushroom fried rice dish is an easy one-pot meal. The mushrooms in this fried rice are definitely the star. Although I used fresh shiitake mushrooms, any type of mushrooms would work just as well. First, the mushrooms were cooked with the aromatics (green onions, ginger and garlic). Then, the cooked rice and peas were mixed in. The beaten eggs were added to the center of the pan and cooked through before mixing with the rice mixture, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha and sesame oil. You may omit the oyster sauce to make this a vegetarian dish. The result was an easy and delicious one-pot meal that my whole family enjoyed a lot. I will definitely keep this one on the list for when I am short on time!
