Add in the rice

Gently mix in the soaked basmati rice (don’t break the grains).

Pour in the vegetable broth and give it a good stir. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once the rice is done, fluff it up with a fork and stir in some freshly chopped coriander leaves for that fresh burst of flavor

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use pre-sliced mushrooms for this recipe?

Yes, pre-sliced mushrooms work fine, but fresh slicing helps you control the thickness, which impacts the texture and flavor.

Can I skip sautéing the mushrooms for garnish?

It’s best to sauté them for that extra flavor boost, but you can skip it if you're in a hurry. Just be sure to add extra seasoning to the rice.

How do I know when the onions are cooked to the right level?

You will know the onions are cooked when they turn soft and look a bit transparent. They won’t be white and raw anymore.

Can I adjust the seasoning to my taste?

Yes! If you like it spicier, add more chili flakes. For a milder taste, cut back on the pepper and seasoning.

Can I use water instead of vegetable broth?

Vegetable broth adds extra flavor, but if you don't have it, water works. Just consider adding extra herbs or a bouillon cube for richness

What should I do if the rice isn’t fully cooked after 20 minutes?

If there’s still liquid left, cover the pot and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. You can also add a little more broth or water if needed.

Can I add any other vegetables to this rice?

Yes! You can add peas, carrots, or spinach to make it even more colorful and nutritious. Just add them when sautéing the mushrooms.

How long will this Herbed Mushroom Rice stay fresh?

It should last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container.
