Fried rice is one of the best ideas for leftovers, mushroom fried rice is one of my favorite dishes to make, and I often tend to make extra rice and keep in fridge handy for a quick meals like this. I love the texture of mushrooms, love all sorts of mushrooms but had never tried oyster mushrooms until I found them in farmer’s market. Oyster mushrooms are not only beautiful to look at but they add a very unique flavor and texture to the recipe as well. The flavors of oysters accented by thyme, freedom spice blend, and tamari sauce makes this recipe an epic combo and I can assure you, this can be very addictive dish.

Notes:

To make crispy kale, wash and pat dry kale leaves
On a roasting tray spread kale leaves sprinkle freedom spice blend, 1tablespoon olive oil salt and pepper on kale leaves, rub evenly and roast it for 5 minutes on 180 C until crispy. let kale leaves cool down until they turn extra crispy
If you plan to make this recipe with spinach then add spinach when you are tossing rice with tamari sauce. It will ensure spinach wont loose its color and nutrients
If you cant find oyster mushrooms can add button , shiitake mushrooms instead or mix all three together
You can add tofu for additional protein to this recipe or shredded chicken
