A comforting one-pot soy sauce mushroom rice dish where tender mushrooms and savory seasonings infuse every grain of rice for a simple, flavorful meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed rice and stir for 1 minute to lightly toast it with the mushrooms.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), vegetable broth, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  7. Turn off heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes.
  8. Fluff with a fork and stir in sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use cremini, white button, or shiitake mushrooms for different flavor profiles.
  • Add peas or diced carrots for extra color and nutrition.
  • For a vegan version, omit oyster sauce or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
