1. 1

   Fry Garlic: Heat oil in a large wok and add the sliced garlic. Fry on a medium high heat till golden brown. Take out half the garlic and reserve for later.

2. 2

   Stir Fry Aromatics: Add ginger, onions, celery, green chillies and the white part of spring onions and stir fry on high heat for a minute or so.

3. 3

   Cook Mushrooms: Add both the mushrooms and stir fry for 2-3 minutes till the mushrooms caramelize

4. 4

   Add rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, pepper, salt and toasted sesame oil and stir fry for 2-3 minutes till everything is mixed well. Don't worry if the rice sticks a little to the bottom. Just scrape it off - those crunchy bits are yum! Sprinkle with the green part of spring onions and the reserved garlic chips and serve hot.
