Main Ingredients- 100g Ham (diced)
- 1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 handful Enoki mushrooms (or other mushrooms, torn or chopped)
- Imitation crab sticks (krab-surimi), to taste (finely chopped)
- 2 bowls Cooked rice
Seasoning & Flavor- 2 pinches Salt
- A little Sesame oil
- 3/4 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 2 pinches Salt
- A little Sesame oil
- 3/4 Tbsp Oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients first for a smooth cooking process. Dice the ham into approximately 1cm cubes. Finely chop the onion and imitation crab sticks. If using enoki mushrooms, tear them into bite-sized pieces or chop them. Having everything prepped makes stir-frying much easier.
Step 2
Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan or wok over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Cooking the onion thoroughly brings out its natural sweetness and deepens the flavor.
Step 3
Once the onions are halfway cooked and releasing their aroma, add the prepared mushrooms. Stir-fry them until they begin to soften. Then, add the diced ham and continue to stir-fry. Season with 2 pinches of salt to lightly enhance the flavors of the ingredients.
Step 4
When the ham and mushrooms are nicely cooked, add the chopped imitation crab sticks to the pan. Stir gently to combine and cook for just a minute or so. Imitation crab sticks cook very quickly, so avoid overcooking them.
Step 5
It’s time for the rice! When the onions are almost fully cooked, add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for about 1 minute until the rice is separated and heated through. During this time, add 3/4 tablespoon of oyster sauce and a little sesame oil. Stir-fry for another minute, ensuring everything is well mixed. The oyster sauce adds a savory umami boost, while the sesame oil provides a wonderful nutty aroma.
Step 6
Your delicious ham and mushroom fried rice is ready! Serve it attractively in a bowl. Enjoy this satisfying meal on its own or with your favorite side dishes like kimchi. Serve hot and savor the flavors!
