Vegan Mushroom Rice (GF)

This Vegan Mushroom Rice is:

  • super easy to make
  • full of flavour
  • makes a great main or side dish!

Vegan Mushroom Rice (GF)

For this Vegan Mushroom Rice, you can use any type of mushrooms you like. I used Japanese maitake mushrooms, but button mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms would also work well.

I used Japanese sushi rice, but you can use any type of white rice you like - a long-grain rice such as Basmati would work equally well.

A lot of the flavour in this Vegan Mushroom Rice comes from the mushrooms obviously, but I also added onion and garlic, a stock cube, and soy sauce (or tamari if gluten-free) for an extra salty, umami taste.

I also added some red and green pepper (you can use either) for colour and extra nutrition, as well as some green peas for extra fibre and protein.

This Vegan Mushroom Rice is so flavoursome and moreish that it might even win over mushroom haters! It makes a complete meal on its own, but also works as a great side dish.

    When normally one cooks rice, you use 2 cups with 3 cups of water. It doesn't make sense that more water isn't added and that there was only one comment about it from those who had made it. I'm making it this week and would love to get comments .... thanks!

      You can add more water if you like, but the texture will be more like risotto. This mushroom rice recipe doesn't require as much water as water is released from the mushrooms whilst cooking. Hope that helps!
