Mushroom Fried Rice Recipe - QUICK and EASY to make fried rice recipe using mushrooms and red capsicum. This is Indo Chinese style mushroom fried rice.
If you have cooked rice ready or using the leftover rice then it will take only 10 minutes. Because we are stir frying the ingredients one by one on high flame. So it shouldn’t take much cooking time.
Here I have added red bell pepper along with mushrooms just because the red color will look good. Also it adds some flavor. You can use green or other colored pepper or you can skip it too.
Also I like my fried rice spicy, so I have added green chilies and red chili flakes both. You can adjust as per your preference.
There are few things to consider to make the perfect mushroom fried rice (Or any fried rice variety).
- Rice grains should be separated to each other and that are moisture free. We don’t want too soft and clumpy rice. I always use basmati rice.
- Always cook in medium-high heat. Keep tossing the ingredients while cooking, so it does not stick to the pan.
