- Toast the rice in a frying pan over a medium heat for 3-4 mins, tossing regularly, until lightly golden. Tip into a pestle and mortar; grind until crushed.
- Return the pan to the heat and dry-fry the mushrooms for 5 mins, stirring, until any water has evaporated and the mushrooms start to colour.
- Add the oil, garlic, ginger and chilli and stir-fry for 5 mins. Stir through the soy sauce and lime juice, then remove from the heat. Stir in the lime zest, spring onions, mint and coriander.
- Arrange the Little Gem cups on a platter and divide the mushroom mix between them. Sprinkle over the toasted rice, then add crispy onions and chilli oil to serve, if you like.
