Mushroom Fried Rice
I am a big fan of Chinese food, especially stir-fried dishes. I love how simple and fast it is to make.
The texture of this dish is soft with a bit of crunch, thanks to the bell pepper.
This quick stir-fry dish is vegetarian, and vegan and goes well with almost any side dish.
You'll Need
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Cooked Rice. I cooked the rice the day before and cooled it in the fridge. I used pre-cooked jasmine rice. I like long-grain rice because when cooked, it is fluffy and not sticky.
Tip: Use cold leftover cooked rice. It is easier to separate and unlikely To turn out mushy.
Mushrooms. I used white button mushrooms. Use any type of mushroom you like.
Tip: To clean the mushrooms, I like to wipe them with a wet kitchen towel. If you prefer to wash them under running water, make sure to pat the mushrooms dry with a kitchen towel before using.
Oil. I used vegetable oil to saute the onion and garlic.
Onion and Garlic: Add So much flavor to this dish.
Ginger. I used fresh diced ginger.
Bell Pepper. They add some crunch. I used green and yellow bell peppers.
Salt and Pepper.
Toasted Sesame Oil.
Soy Sauce. I used low sodium light soy sauce to add umami flavor to my dish.
Oyster Sauce. It adds color and flavor to the dish.
Parsley Leaves. To garnish my dish.
Black Sesame Seeds (optional). Just another garnishing.
