Ingredients

700g mixed mushrooms (such as Essential Cup, chestnut, portobellini), large ones halved or quartered
2 tbsp Essential Sunflower Oil
120g jasmine rice
1 tbsp light soy sauce
15g piece ginger, peeled and very finely shredded
2½ tsp Chinese rice vinegar
2 tsp Essential Clear Honey
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 Essential White Eggs
Chopped chives, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 230ºC, gas mark 8. In a large roasting tin, toss the mixed mushrooms and sunflower oil together, then season and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and juicy.
Meanwhile, boil the rice until tender, for about 10 minutes, then drain. Combine the soy, ginger, vinegar, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Fill a frying pan 2/3 of the way up with water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and break in the eggs, then simmer for 3 minutes, or until the whites are opaque. Lift the eggs out onto kitchen paper to absorb any excess moisture. Serve the eggs and mushrooms on top of the rice, drizzled with the gingery dressing and sprinkled with chopped chives.

Cook’s tip

How do you like your eggs? Fried or boiled would also work a treat in this recipe. Or as an alternative meal, you could try using the roasted mushrooms and dressing as an omelette filling.
