Ingredients 

  • 16 oz sliced baby portabella mushrooms

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger 
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt 
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper 
  • 4 cups cooked long grain white rice 
  • ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil 
  • ½ cup frozen petite peas 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: 
  • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. 
  • Add the sliced baby portabella mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. 
  1. Add Aromatics: 
  • Add the thinly sliced green onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant. 
  • Stir in the ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and black pepper. 
  1. Combine Rice and Sauce: 
  • Add the cooked long grain white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and mixing it thoroughly with the vegetables.

  1. Incorporate the Peas: 
  • Add the frozen petite peas to the skillet, mixing them into the rice. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the peas are heated through and the dish is thoroughly combined. 
  1. Serve: 
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pilaf sit for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
