We are always looking for a quick fix in the kitchen and this mushroom fried rice is just the thing to whip up on a busy day. This Easy Mushroom Fried Rice Recipe I Mushroom Rice Recipe I Fried Mushroom Rice is super simple to make and extremely delicious.

Mushrooms are a favourite among vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike and there is nothing like this quick and easy recipe to cook as a one pot meal. You really don’t need to plan an accompaniment for this fried rice, you could simply serve it with ketchup.

This fried rice has some simple flavours, a mix of popular Indian and Chinese ingredients which give this dish a unique character. I use any short grain fragrant rice for this rice recipe, because it gives the dish a beautiful flavour and superb aroma, but in case you don’t have any at home, you could also substitute it with any regular short grain rice. Some say that it’s better to use rice that’s a few days old or to use cold leftover rice, but you could also cook fresh rice, just ensure that it doesn’t overcook or become too sticky as that could spoil your whole fried rice.

The key to a delicious fried rice is some simple ingredients and the texture of the rice has to be perfect, each grain must be separate from the other. Some of the ingredients that add a beautiful Chinese flavour to this mushroom rice are sesame oil, celery, soy sauce, peppers and spring onions. I have added a pinch of MSG as a flavour enhancer, but you could skip it altogether.

The rice is allowed to cook on low heat with some water and salt, then it’s allowed to cool down. We are preparing this fried rice in a wok, as all the ingredients cook on a high heat and give it a delicious slightly smoky flavour as well.

So first sesame oil is heated in a wok, to this chopped garlic and a few springs of fresh celery are added, followed by the addition of chopped onions. Next the peppers or capsicum and mushrooms are added and tossed in the wok. All the moisture from the mushrooms is allowed to evaporate giving it a beautiful texture. Now as a final step, the cooked and cooled rice, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and MSG are added. The fresh spring onion greens are mixed in towards the end. This super easy recipe can be served with any Chinese style curry like chilli garlic chicken.
