Fried Rice with Shiitake Mushrooms and Sugar Snap Peas

Chef Richard 8 Servings 25 minutes

You can make this vegetarian main course in less than a half an hour, especially if you already have leftover cooked rice on hand (or the rice can be cooked, then quick-chilled in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients). If you like your fried rice on the spicy side, add one to two teaspoons of bottled Asian chili-garlic sauce when adding the rice.
