What to serve with Mushroom Fried Rice?

Serve the Mushroom Fried Rice recipe with sriracha sauce or some Manchurian gravy. If you dont prefer sides, eat it as is.

Tips

  • Make sure the heat is medium-high to high heat while stir-frying.
  • Don’t cover the pan. This causes the mushrooms to steam.
  • Add soya sauce, in the end, prevents it from absorbing too much into the mushrooms and making them too mushy.
  • Try to use low sodium soya sauce, and if you are looking for gluten-free, use Tamari, or also Coconut Aminos to replace the soy sauce, and it’s the best!

Variations for making Mushroom Fried Rice

  • Protein: Add ½ cup of crumbled paneer (cottage cheese), scrambled tofu, or eggs.
  • Greens: Stir in some spinach leaves or kale towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Spicy: Add either crushed red pepper flakes or a few teaspoons of sriracha or schezwan sauce.
  • Oil: You can also use coconut oil or sesame oil for this recipe
  • Keto: Replace basmati rice with cauliflower rice. You can also add broccoli or edamame for the keto diet.
