TIPS & SUGGESTIONS FOR INSTANT POT MUSHROOM RICE 

Rinse the Rice well – No matter what type of rice you use, I will recommend to rinse the rice at least 5-6 times until clear.

Slice the mushroom – Do not slice it too thin that the mushrooms get dissolved in the rice.

Do not add Spring Onions while cooking, it can turn a bit mushy. I love the crunch that comes from the spring onions when you add them as garnish.

Butter lends the wonderful buttery texture and flavour to this rice dish. Do not skip it in the recipe. For a vegan alternative, use Vegan Butter.

Stock –  For extra rich intense flavours, use mushroom stock cube or dried mushrooms in your stock.

Easy to Scale Recipe – This recipe can be doubled or Tripled easily. Remember for every cup of rice, add 2 cups of liquid.

Serve this 30 minutes mushroom rice with your favourite curry or use it as a stuffing inside your butternut squash, tomatoes or even peppers.

Can I freeze leftover Mushroom Rice?

Sometimes when I cook double portions, I tend to allow the rice to cool down completely and pack it in freezer safe container. Freeze for a couple of months, until ready to eat.

Pick the freezer safe container and defrost them in the refrigerator or microwave.

Heat the rice throughly before eating.

Saute a little more mushrooms and add to the heated rice along with a blob of butter. Garnish with lots of spring onions.
