Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine or long-grain rice, rinsed

  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or cooking oil

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1.5 cups mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

  • 1 tsp sugar or honey (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Optional: green onions, sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).

  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown (around 5 minutes).

  • Stir in rice, soy sauce, sugar/honey, and pepper. Mix everything well.

  • Pour in the water or broth, bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer.

  • Cook for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  • Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork, and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if using

Notes

  • Add tofu, peas, or cooked chicken for extra protein.

  • Use brown rice for a whole-grain option (adjust water and cook time).

  • A splash of rice vinegar adds a subtle tang!
