Ingredients
Scale
Rice Base:
- 1 cup jasmine rice (or long-grain white rice), rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups water or vegetable broth
Mushrooms & Vegetables:
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button), sliced
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (plus more for garnish)
Seasonings & Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: drizzle of toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse rice, slice mushrooms, and chop onion, garlic, and green onions.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Heat sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onions for 2–3 minutes. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds, then add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Simmer the Rice: Stir in rinsed rice, water or broth, and soy sauce. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook 15–18 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
- Fluff & Serve: Let rest 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm.
Notes
- Rinse rice thoroughly to remove excess starch and prevent stickiness.
- Don’t lift the lid while cooking for even steam.
- Use broth for deeper flavor or adjust soy sauce to taste.
- For a casserole twist: transfer to a dish, top with breadcrumbs and cheese, bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
- Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or water.
