Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat.
- Step 2: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 3: While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz sliced button mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until browned and tender.
- Step 4: In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs lightly. Push mushrooms to one side of the pan and pour eggs into the empty side. Cook eggs gently, stirring slowly with a spatula to form soft curds, about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until combined.
- Step 6: Fluff rice with a fork and divide into two bowls. Top each bowl with the mushroom and egg mixture.
- Step 7: Drizzle each bowl with half the soy-ginger dressing, then sprinkle 2 tbsp sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve warm.

How do I store leftover Savory Egg and Mushroom Rice Bowl with Soy-Ginger Dressing?
Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.
Can I substitute ingredients in Savory Egg and Mushroom Rice Bowl with Soy-Ginger Dressing?
