Ingredients

• 1 cup white or jasmine rice (uncooked)
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups mixed mushrooms (e.g., button, shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 cups of water in a medium pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, clean and slice the mixed mushrooms into even pieces.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and sizzling.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender. They will release their moisture, which will then evaporate, allowing them to brown.

Step 8

Stir in the soy sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the mushrooms in the seasoning.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice to the skillet with the mushroom mixture. Gently fold everything together until the rice is well combined and coated with the mushroom-flavored sauce.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Transfer the mixed mushroom rice to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
