Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the garlic and the white part of the green onion and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook until blistered, and mostly cooked, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes.

Step 2

Add the rice. Stir and break it apart to separate the grains as much as possible, combining it evenly with the mushrooms. Cook until the rice is heated through and possibly lightly toasted, 3-4 minutes. Add the soy sauce and the green part of the green onion. Stir for another 1 minute to mix everything evenly.

Step 3

Turn off the heat, drizzle the toasted sesame oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, give it a final stir, and serve immediately.
