Macrobiotic Fried Rice with Doubanjiang

Slice the shiitake mushrooms (or finely mince, if you prefer). Chop the garlic and green onion.

Toast the thin abura-age in a toaster oven or a frying pan until crispy, then slice.

Heat a frying pan and pour in some sesame oil (not listed in the ingredients). Stir fry the ingredients from Steps 1 and 2.

Add the rice and ◎ seasonings and stir fry. Turn off the heat and add ☆. Stir well.

It's done! Sprinkle with powdered cheese to taste to add richness.

Scrambling an egg into the rice is also tasty; when adding the egg, adjust the seasonings to taste.

I used the black bean sauce shown here.
