Main Ingredients
- 1/3 bundle Enoki mushrooms
- 1/4 Onion
- 1/3 stalk Green onion
- 1/3 Red bell pepper
- 1/3 Yellow bell pepper
- 1 serving Cooked rice
Seasoning Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Cooking wine (Mirin, etc.)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Cooking wine (Mirin, etc.)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion and bell peppers (red and yellow) after peeling. Wash the green onion and slice it diagonally into about 3-4cm lengths. Preparing them this way ensures even cooking and a nice presentation.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the essential sauce for this delicious rice bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp cooking wine, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1/2 Tbsp sugar. Mix them well. Once the sauce is evenly combined, stir in 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil and 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds to finish. Pre-mixing the sauce allows for quick addition while stir-frying, making the cooking process much smoother.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and add about 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent. Once the onions start to turn clear, add the enoki mushrooms (trim the base and separate the strands) and the sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry until the vegetables soften slightly. Finally, pour in all the prepared sauce and stir-fry quickly over high heat to coat the vegetables evenly. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the vegetables mushy!
Step 4
Serve the warm cooked rice in a bowl. Generously top the rice with the freshly stir-fried mushroom and vegetable mixture. For an extra treat, consider adding a fried egg on top! And just like that, your simple, healthy, and delicious Mushroom and Vegetable Rice Bowl is ready. Enjoy your meal!
