Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium pot, add 1 cup of water and the rinsed rice.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped chili pepper and continue to stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and add the remaining 2.5 tsp of olive oil.
- Add the chopped cashews to the open space in the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Mix the vegetables and cashews together in the pan.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, stirring well to combine and coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls or plates.
- Spoon the Gong Bao mix of mushrooms, cashews, and onions over the rice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Gong Bao Rice with Mushrooms, Cashews, and Onions.
Tips:
- For an enhanced flavor, consider using jasmine or basmati rice instead of regular white rice.
- If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of red hot chili pepper to suit your taste.
- Toast the cashews lightly before adding them to the dish to bring out their nutty flavor.
- Add a splash of sesame oil just before serving for an extra layer of aroma and taste.
- To save time, you can use pre-sliced mushrooms and pre-chopped onions available at most grocery stores.
- Serve the dish with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
