• Let’s break down the process step-by-step. This is where the magic happens.

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

• Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and measure out the peas. Having everything ready makes cooking much easier and more enjoyable.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

• In a large skillet, add the avocado oil. Heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This is crucial; you want the oil hot to achieve that crispy texture.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms

• Add the lion’s mane and cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté them for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are golden and caramelized. The aroma will be unbeatable.

Step 4: Add the Garlic and Rice

• Once the mushrooms are cooked down, stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then add your cooked jasmine rice. Stir well to combine, breaking up any clumps.

Step 5: Crispy It Up

• Spread the rice mixture evenly across the skillet. Press it down lightly with a spatula. Let it cook without stirring for about 10 minutes, allowing the bottom to crisp up. You want that perfect golden crust.

Step 6: Toss in the Peas and Herbs

• After your rice is crispy, sprinkle the green peas, chives, thyme, lemon zest, and roasted red peppers over the top. Gently fold everything in, letting the residual heat warm the peas and release their sweetness.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

• When plating, you can cut the crispy rice into squares. Drizzle with Calabrian chile oil for a kick and garnish with additional chives. Your dish is ready to impress!
