Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 11/2 cups brown rice

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, such as safflower

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tablespoons minced, peeled ginger (from a 2-inch piece)

  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed

  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil; add rice. Boil until rice is al dente, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water; drain again.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Add eggs; season with salt and pepper and cook until set, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool; roll up and thinly slice crosswise.
  • In same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until shiitakes are tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Add rice, eggs, edamame, scallions, lime juice, and soy sauce. Cook, tossing, until rice is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
