Mushroom fried rice (Indo-chinese)
About:
My family loves indo-chinese dishes so am here again with another dish. Here in this recipe I used main ingredient as mushrooms as a best suppliment of Vitamin D during winter. Soaking chillies and vinegar helps to impart flavours to the dish. This can be great for lunch or packed lunches.
Health Benefits:
Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins. They are also the only vegan, non-fortified dietary source of vitamin D. Mushrooms also provide several minerals that may be difficult to obtain in the diet, such as selenium, potassium, copper, iron, and phosphorus.
Serves-2
Preparation time-10 minutes
Cooking time-15 minutes (excluding the cooking time of rice)
Ingredients:
- Any rice of choice-1cup (I used brown rice)
- Button mushrooms-250gms (cleaned and sliced)
- Chopped onion-1medium
- Garlic cloves-3 (chopped )
- Green chillies-2 (slit/halved)
- Chopped celery-1/4cup
- Soy sauce-1tbsp
- Vinegar-1-2tbsp
- Oil-1tbsp
- Salt and ground black pepper-to taste
Procedure:
- Soak chopped garlic and slit green chilies in vinegar until required.
- For cooking rice: rinse and soak rice for 30 minutes. After soaking time drain and bring 4-5 cups of water to boil and cook rice until al dente by adding salt and 1 tsp oil.
- One cooked drain and spread on a broad pan until cools down.
For fried rice:
- Heat oil in a wok on high flame until smoky and then add chopped onion and saute for 2-3 minutes on a high flame.
- Then add the chopped mushrooms and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
- Now add in soaked chilles, garlic along with vinegar and then add soy sauce, celery and continue to cook until mushrooms, celery are cooked and coated well in sauce.
- Add cooked rice, salt, ground black pepper and stir gently and stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until coated well and heated through.
- Finally garnish with spring onion greens
Serve with indo-chinese curry/sauce.
It can be served with Baked Manchurian gravy
I served this with vegetable Indo- chinese curry
Make this is a 2 course meal with Soya Chunks Manchurian
Note:
- Any vegetables can be included as a variation.
- Mushrooms tends to release water as cooking so continue to saute until the water evaporates.
- Soaking chilles and garlic is optional but it helps to impart flavour to the dish

Mushrooms were something I never had growing up. (I told someone else the people around me when I grew up didn’t have any sense of culinary adventure! 🙂 ) “Discovering” them as an adult, I love mushrooms. I’ve been having them a lot lately. This fried rice sounds and looks scrumptious! Mega hugs my friend.
