The subtle mushroom flavour, the crunch of fried peanuts and the flavourful golden shallots make familiar rice special.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or peanut oil
  • 1/3 cup whole raw peanuts or unsalted roasted peanuts
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups Thai jasmine rice, or other long-grain rice
  • 1 cup sodium-reduced chicken stock
  • 1 tsp sodium-reduced soy sauce or fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Preparation

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry peanuts, stirring often, until golden, about 4 minutes for raw peanuts, 2 minutes for roasted. With slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined plate.

In same saucepan, fry shallots, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, about 12 minutes.

Add mushrooms, garlic and pepper; cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and no liquid remains, 4 minutes.

Return peanuts to pan. Add rice, stirring to coat. Add chicken stock, soy sauce and 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender and no liquid remains, about 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in coriander.
