    To make this quick and easy, fuss free Burnt Garlic Mushroom fried rice recipe, you will need,

    Rice – Use any short grain non-sticky rice for this rice recipe. Make sure to cool the rice completely before stir-frying it otherwise it will become mushy.

    Veggies – I have used celery, onion, green bell pepper, green onions, and button mushrooms. You can add any mushrooms that are available to you.

    You can add more veggies like carrots, green beans, broccoli etc to it too.

    Garlic – It single-handedly adds so much taste and flavor to this recipe , its the hero of the dish.

    Oil – I have used sesame oil, as it adds a more authentic taste to the recipe. But if you do not have the same, you can just use the regular vegetable oil for this recipe.

    Others – Surely we need few more ingredients such as soy sauce, red chili sauce , white vinegar, ground black pepper, and salt. Since we are adding soy sauce which is has lots of salt in it already , be careful while adding salt.

    Tips

    For fried rice , its always best to use leftover cooked rice. But if you want to make it using fresh rice, make sure to cool it completely in a wide plate and refrigerate it for a few hours before using.

    I have used short grain white rice to make this dish . But you can definitely use long grain rice or medium size rice, Jasmine rice , brown rice, millets , quinoa or cauliflower rice .

    Try to use a wide pan or iron wok to make fried rice.

    Variations

    Schezwan & Chilli Garlic – Add a few teaspoon of schezwan sauce or Chilli Garlic or any other sauces to this rice to make it spicy or give any respective flavors.

    Cauliflower – Replace rice with cauliflower rice and make cauliflower mushroom rice for all weight watchers.

    Veggies – You can add veggies like red and yellow bell peppers, corn, asparagus, carrot, baby corn, etc to this rice.

    Eggs and Meat  – You can scramble the eggs and add beef, chicken, bacon, chorizo, shrimp etc to this rice with the mushrooms to make an respective mushroom fried rice recipe.

    FAQ's

    Can I store the leftovers ?

    It can be stored for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat only the required amount in a wok or in the microwave until nice and warm, before serving again.

    Any substitute for Button Mushrooms , in this recipe ?

    I have used button mushrooms in this recipe. However, you can make cremini mushrooms or with fresh shiitake mushrooms . Also you can use combination of various varieties of edible mushrooms.

    Is adding Celery in must ?

    Substitute fresh coriander/cilantro leaves if you do not have celery.

    Can we make it for big batch?

    The recipe can be scaled to make a big batch or small batches.
