This recipe combines purple jasmine Thai rice with king oyster mushrooms and leeks, but the real star is the egg fried on ginger-infused breadcrumbs. While purple rice adds visual appeal, regular jasmine rice works well too. The crispy-bottomed eggs crown a flavourful rice mixture, creating a surprisingly quick weeknight meal.
