Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 ½ cups water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
• 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
• ½ pound frozen cooked shrimp, thawed
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Rinse rice in a strainer until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Transfer rice to a saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Check rice; the water should be completely absorbed and rice should be tender. If rice is still firm, cover and continue to cook until tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat. Measure out 2 cups cooked rice for fried rice; set aside. Reserve remaining rice for another use.

Step 3

Warm oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until golden brown and soft, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and green onions; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Stir in 2 cups cooked rice and soy sauce; cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Break egg over the top of the rice mixture. Stir until egg has completely set up in the rice, about 3 minutes.
