Why You’ll Love This One-Pot Mushroom Rice

Enjoy the flexibility of this recipe: it can be enjoyed as a vegetarian main dish or served as a satisfying side. Best of all, cleanup is a breeze.

Preparing Your Mushrooms and Veggies

Success starts with perfectly prepped ingredients. For swift, even dicing, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to slice mushrooms, onions, and any additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots. This tool makes prepping a large batch effortless and keeps everything uniformly sized for even cooking.

Choose your favorite mushrooms—shiitake and cremini add extra umami depth—then toss them into a hot, wide pan for optimal browning.

Crafting One-Pot Perfection

You’ll need a sturdy skillet or pot with a lid for the best results—something like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet offers excellent nonstick performance and even heat distribution.

Sauté the veggies, add rice and aromatics, then simmer everything together in a fragrant bath of soy sauce and vegetable broth. The rice soaks up all those lush, earthy flavors, while the mushrooms turn meltingly tender.

Serving Suggestions & Tips

Spoon the finished rice into a Bentgo Salad Container for weekday lunches or serve straight from your pan for easy family-style dining. Garnish with freshly chopped scallions or cilantro for brightness.

If you’re after a rich, comforting main or side dish that requires hardly any fuss, this one-pot mushroom rice is sure to become a staple. Its gently savory profile, ease of preparation, and lasting appeal make it a favorite for cooks and eaters alike.

Instructions

1. Set your SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet or preferred heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and swirl in the neutral oil.
2. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté until browned and their moisture has mostly released, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and optional extra veggies, if using, and sauté for 1 minute more.
3. Add the rinsed rice, stirring to coat each grain with the aromatic oil and veggies. Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth, stirring well to incorporate. Add the ground white pepper and bring the mixture to a low boil.
4. Reduce heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let simmer for 15–18 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
5. Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Let the rice rest for 5 minutes, then gently fluff with a fork or the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to separate grains without mashing.
6. Fold in chopped scallions and serve hot, finished with extra herbs and more soy sauce as desired.
7. For meal prep, store portions in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to maintain freshness throughout the week.
