Welcome back to how to cook great food. Today we're making mushroom fried rice.

Start with cold cooked basmati rice; cold rice works better for fried rice than warm or hot rice.

Slice white fresh mushrooms; you could chop them smaller if desired.

Prepare fresh garlic and fresh ginger.

Slice onion.

Use a high-sided skillet or wok and heat sunflower oil until hot.

Add garlic and ginger to the hot oil, cooking for a few seconds until they start to color slightly to flavor the oil.

Add sliced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release moisture.

Add black pepper to taste, but no salt due to the soy sauce.

Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet, stirring and frying for about 5-6 minutes until the rice is heated through and may get a little brown or blackened.

Optional: Add chili, cilantro, or sesame seed oil if desired, but the dish is simple as is.
