Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add Mushrooms and Rice

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Stir in the jasmine rice, ensuring it is coated with the oil and aromatics.

Add Broth and Seasoning

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Add ground black pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the Rice

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.

Serve and Garnish

Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve warm.

Tips for Cooking Success

To achieve the best results, rinse the jasmine rice before cooking. This step removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming overly sticky. A quick rinse under cold water will do the trick, ensuring that your final dish has the perfect texture.

Ensure that your mushrooms are properly cleaned before slicing. Use a damp cloth to wipe them down rather than rinsing them under water, as mushrooms can absorb moisture and become soggy. This will help maintain their texture and flavor in the dish.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This dish reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add a splash of vegetable broth or water when reheating to restore moisture and prevent the rice from drying out.

For longer storage, consider freezing the dish in portions. It can be kept in the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as mentioned above.
