Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups sliced cremini- or shiitake-mushroom caps (5 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup sliced scallions, plus more sliced green tops for serving
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro stems, plus 1/4 cup chopped leaves
1 red bell pepper, chopped (1 1/2 cups)

3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
Diced avocado and lightly crushed tortilla chips, for serving

Spread mixture in a single layer and let cook, undisturbed, until underside crisps slightly, about 5 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fried rice turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much soy sauce.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add some of my own personal touches. I usually add a cup of frozen peas and a handful of chopped cashews.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fried rice turned out a little dry. I think I might have needed to add more oil.
