Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 scallions, white and green parts chopped separately
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced
  • 3 cups cold cooked white rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Directions
  1. Heat a wok or a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot, then add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and swirl around wok. Add half of egg mixture and swirl wok to coat bottom with a thin layer about 5 inches in diameter. When egg crêpe is set, about 45 seconds, transfer with a wide metal spatula to a plate to cool. Make another egg crêpe with another 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and remaining egg mixture in same manner. Stack crêpes, roll into a cylinder, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips, then unroll.
  2. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in wok over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add ginger, white part of scallions, and salt and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shiitakes and stir-fry until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Crumble rice into wok and stir-fry until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add scallion greens, egg strips, and sesame oil, tossing to combine.

Oh yum!


I have a very similar recipe, with the addition of garlic. I usually just scramble the eggs, but making crepes and slicing them sounds like a better option. Thanks for the idea!


Very good!
