Cook the RiceHeat the rice and water to boiling in the saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so the water bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy and tender. While the rice is cooking, continue with the recipe. If the rice is done before you need it, just remove the rice from the heat and let it stand a few minutes until you're ready. |

About Fried Rice with Mushrooms Recipe
There are various methods to fry the rice in Asian cuisine, including this one. I like a lot to also fry it, not only make traditionally cooked rice, but this depends on what meal I decide to do on that day. The Asian way to fry rice is like no other region on earth, and it’s a great opportunity to show your loved ones your skills in the kitchen, offering another taste instead of the American-cooked rice.
I made this dish today, that’s how I’d remembered about it, and it turned out to be a good idea to change a bit the traditional American cooking. Well, for this recipe, I have added the mushrooms because I didn’t have time to cook any type of meat, but you can add if you want to. All I want to say is that my family was delighted by this simple yet very tasty recipe. I will gladly make it again, but next time I’ll add chicken meat to this recipe. If you decide to do it, leave me a review. I hope you like it too.

Great for weight-loss
If you want to lose weight, you can include this fried rice with mushrooms in your meal plan. I use 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for this recipe, but if you think that’s still too much, use only one tablespoon of oil and stir more. As an excellent source of both fiber and protein, mushrooms are particularly useful for plant-based diets. Mushrooms also help to burn fat in the body because their nutrients help to regulate glucose levels in the blood. On the other hand, rice will make you feel full for a longer time, but do not exaggerate with your serving quantity. Therefore, this recipe is best to be eaten without meat in it if you want to use it for slimming purposes.
Notes and Tips
- Essential Equipment: 2-quart saucepan; 10-inch skillet.
- Cook the extra rice the next time you are serving it with another meal. Refrigerate or freeze the leftover rice (you’ll need about 3 cups) in an airtight container, and use it for Fried Rice.
- Substitute ingredients in Fried Rice to suit your taste. Use chopped green bell pepper or sliced water chestnuts, or add leftover ham or chicken. Make it exactly as you like it.
