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
