Step by step recipe

• 1: Prepare 1 spring onion (scallion), slice it thinly, and set it aside.
• 2: Break 1 egg into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, beat with a fork, and set aside.
• 3: Carefully separate the rice in the 2-cup measuring cup; there should be no more small clumps of rice.
  Set aside.
• 4: Prepare the 500 g mushrooms, cut them into fairly large pieces—typically into 4 pieces lengthwise.
• 5: In a skillet over high heat, pour in 5 tablespoons olive oil, and when it's very hot, add the mushrooms, but don't add any salt.
• 6: Sauté the mushrooms over high heat, stirring frequently, until they are nicely browned.
• 7: Next, add the soy sauce and stir well...
• 8: ... and continue cooking until it has been completely absorbed by the mushrooms.
• 9: Transfer the mushrooms to a warm plate, and in the same skillet—without washing it—sauté the 1 slice ham to your liking, this time over medium heat.
• 10: Cut the ham (in this case, coppa) into small pieces and set aside.
• 11: In the same skillet, pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil, and when it's hot, add the thinly sliced spring onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute, without letting it brown.
• 12: Next, add the ham pieces and stir.
• 13: Add the mushrooms and stir.
• 14: Add the rice, stir, and let it heat through for a few minutes.
• 15: Finish by adding the beaten eggs, stir one last time, and let it cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
  Check the seasoning.
• 16: Your fried rice with mushrooms and ham is ready.

Remarks
