Easy, delicious, 6-ingredient Asian-inspired Mushroom Rice! Made with savory flavors of garlic, onion, and tamari. Can also turn it into a main dish with some simple additions like tofu, tempeh, or edamame.

Mushroom Rice! We love this easy, 6 ingredient Asian-inspired dish. So simple but satisfying. I created it to be a side dish, however it could easily be morphed into a main dish. Include extra vegetables like asparagus, snap peas, or mung bean sprouts. Or add a protein boost with edamame, tempeh, or tofu. (Like our favorite Asian-Style Garlic Tofu.)
Plus it’s also great made with quinoa instead of rice. See the notes below the recipe for additional info and tips. Hope you also enjoy!

Ingredients for Mushroom Rice
For this recipe you’ll need:
- Brown rice (or your own favorite)
- Mushrooms (I use cremini, but try oyster, shiitake, button, or a blend!)
- Onion
- Garlic
- Green onion (scallion)
- Tamari

I also wanted to quickly mention this book I enjoyed. It dives into the wonderful world of mushrooms. Plus it’s fun & informative. Author Tero Isokauppila breaks down ten different mushrooms.
He explains how their incredible benefits can be a powerful tool in promoting whole body health. (Also with many fun facts and vegan recipes included.)
