Ingredients

1 tablespoon uncooked sticky rice (also called glutinous rice or sweet rice; can substitute regular white rice)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound oyster mushrooms finely chopped (you an also use king oyster mushrooms)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce (either regular or vegan, depending on your dietary preference)
1 teaspoon light soy sauce (optional if using regular fish sauce)
1 lime (juiced)
1 Thai bird's eye chili (thinly sliced)
3 shallots (medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced)
3 scallions (chopped)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/2 cup mint (chopped)

Instructions

In a dry wok or pan over low heat, toast the rice grains, stirring continuously until they turn golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Grind to a coarse powder in a mortar & pestle or food processor (a few pulses will do). Set aside.
Place your wok back over high heat until smoking. Add the oil and the mushrooms. Stir-fry until the mushrooms are browned on the edges.
Add the toasted rice powder, sugar, fish sauce (or vegan fish sauce), soy sauce (if needed), and lime juice.
Stir-fry for another minute, and then add the chili, shallots, scallions, cilantro, and mint. Stir-fry for one more minute, then taste for seasoning, adding more chili, sugar, fish sauce, and/or lime juice to your taste if needed.
Serve with sticky rice, steamed jasmine rice, and/or lettuce leaves.
