1. Cook the wild rice in salted boiling water for about 16 minutes, Drain the rice.
2. Fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer to a small baking sheet and spread out in a thin layer to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients.

4. In a saucepan put part of the soy sauce with the corn-starch diluted with water, bring to the boil then add the sambal sauce, the second part of the soy sauce, the lime juice and chop the fresh ginger.
5. Cut the carrots into thin strips. Finely chop the white of the onion, thinly slice the green part, washed the shimeji mushrooms.
6. In a hot pan with a drizzle of sunflower oil, brown the carrots and shimeji mushrooms for a few minutes, add the sliced white onions and fresh ginger. Reserve the sautéed vegetable mixture.
