Prepare
- lime wedges, for serving
- 4 tbsp canola oil, divided
- Slice 1/2 lbs tiny shiitake mushrooms or shiitake mushroom caps
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 2 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar until the sugar dissolves; set aside.
-
Step 2.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, then add the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are just golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the sliced scallions, ginger matchsticks, sliced garlic, and sliced jalapeño. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Step 4.
Add the cooked basmati rice and thawed edamame to the skillet. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute to heat through.
-
Step 5.
Pour the reserved lime juice mixture over the rice mixture, then add the cooked mushrooms. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 1 minute.
-
Step 6.
Sprinkle the fried rice with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side, and top each serving with a fried egg if desired.
