Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and pour them into the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining peanut oil to the skillet.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic to the hot oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the ginger and garlic. Stir constantly until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them until they start to soften and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the cooked basmati rice to the skillet.
- Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the caramelized mixture.
- Add the soy sauce and cooked eggs. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add the chopped scallions to the skillet.
- Give everything a final stir to combine.
- Serve the caramel rice hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the basmati rice is cooked properly; it should be fluffy and not overly sticky.
- Chop the garlic, ginger, and scallions finely to ensure they evenly distribute their flavors.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the ingredients from sticking and burning.
- Control the heat carefully when caramelizing the sugar: too high and it can burn, too low and it won't caramelize properly.
- If you prefer a more pronounced caramel flavor, you can increase the brown sugar slightly.
