Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Boil water in a large pot over high heat.

Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water and reduce heat to medium.

In a separate pan, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add chicken to the pan and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Add mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Crack an egg into the pot and stir gently until cooked through.

Season with pepper and chili flakes to taste.
