Mushroom Fried Rice Recipe (Indo-Chinese)

Mushroom Fried Rice is a flavorful and comforting Indo-Chinese vegetarian fried rice using mushrooms. If you have premade cooked rice, this tasty dish can be prepared in less than 15 minutes. Paired with any Indo-Chinese soup or vegetable, it is a nice complete quick meal or even perfect for a lunch box.

Fried rice is so versatile; you can have any combination of vegetables in it or even stir in some chicken or eggs too. Mushroom fried rice has a very earthy fresh taste and carrots and bell pepper give a crunch and color to the dish.

The key to good fried rice is the type of rice used.  Long grained rice works best and if you use Basmati rice, even better.  Make sure each grain of rice is long and separate; but if you do not have Basmati, any rice you have on hand will do; just make sure you cook it al dente and each grain is separate and just about cooked. Even better would be leftover day old cooked rice from your refrigerator!

The best and fun part in making this quick fried rice is the flavoring!  Play around with Chinese sauces like soy sauce, chilli sauce or even tomato ketchup (yes, some people do love ketchup in their rice!!). Vinegar adds a tang to the already delectable rice.

Ginger and garlic are the basics; chopped green onions elevate the color, flavor and crunch factor. Carrots, bell peppers or even finely chopped green beans are perfect addition to this delightful fried rice. The whole process takes only a few minutes.  Stir fry everything on high heat and it is done!

So when you are short on time or just need something quick, healthy and flavorful, do try my version of easy Indo-Chinese Mushroom Fried Rice.

So let’s get to the recipe….
