  • 1/2 cup sherry
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 T rice vinegar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 handful of cilantro leaves coarsely chopped
  • Additional truffle zest and truffle oil for topping when you serve

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Cook rice according to package directions and use the broth instead of the water to cook the rice. When you add the rice to the boiled broth to cook, also add the 2 teas of olive oil and the smashed garlic cloves. Cook the rice ahead of time and let cool at least to room temperature before you begin making the rice dish. *****

  2. Heat 1 T olive oil and 1 T truffle oil in a wok over medium high heat (for about a minute).

  3. Add yellow onions, salt, and pepper and sauté for 2 minutes (until the onions start to brown).

  4. Add mushrooms, sauté for a minute stirring constantly.

  5. Then add the ¼ cup of sherry.

  6. Stir to combine, then turn the heat down to medium.

  7. Add the remaining ¼ cup of sherry, and sauté for 5 minutes.

  8. Turn down to medium low and add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.

  9. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions and truffle zest and cook for 2 more minutes.

  10. Turn the heat back up to medium high and add the rice. 

  11. Stir to combine and then pat the rice down and let cook for about 25-30 seconds.

  12. Then mix around and pat the rice down again and cook for about 25-30 seconds. 

  13. Repeat the above 2 more times. 

  14. Then shove the rice to the side and add the egg (if you are adding egg, if not skip below to step 16).

  15. Let the egg cook for about 20 seconds, then scramble and mix with the rice. 

  16. Then do the same process where you pat the rice down like in steps 11 and 12 and do that 2-3 more times. 

  17. Take the wok off the heat and fold in ¼ cup of the cilantro. 

  18. Serve with finishing off with toppings (truffle oil, truffle zest, cilantro, and siracha (optional, but delicious if you like spicy).
