Mushroom Rice is a rustic and elegant side dish loaded with good earthy flavor which comes from the mushrooms. The hint of ginger and garlic really complements the Rice. It looks beautiful, tastes delicious, and is a very healthy alternative from the regular plain rice.
Heat up the Oil in a pan and add the minced garlic, Ginger, Onion, and minced habanero. Stir continuously and cook until the Onions are soft. About 3 to 4 minutes
Add the mushroom and cook till reduced
Add bell pepper, green peas and season with salt and black pepper Fry them, over medium-high heat, until the peppers begin to soften.
Put the rice in. Toss for a few minutes until the rice is heated through.
Season with soy sauce and pepper. Mix until well combined.
The star of this recipe is the mushroom, so if you decide to tweak or substitute anything in this recipe, please don’t remove the mushrooms.
For that exotic, floral flavor I used one minced habanero pepper. If you are like me, you may want to remove the seeds of the pepper to reduce the heat. I also like to use minced Jalapenos if I don’t have Habaneros. I also like the flavor it gives.
I used white rice in this recipe, however, Brown Rice can also be used.
