Notes
- Can I use dried mushrooms instead of fresh? Yes! Rehydrate dried mushrooms in hot water for 20-30 minutes, then use both the mushrooms and the strained soaking liquid (replacing some of the broth) for an intensified flavor profile.
- Is this recipe gluten-free? It can be! Simply substitute regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to make this dish completely gluten-free.
- How can I increase the protein content of this dish? Add 1 cup of edamame, incorporate scrambled eggs, or top with crispy tofu. Each option adds approximately 8-10g of protein per serving.
- Can I make this in a rice cooker or Instant Pot? Absolutely! For a rice cooker, follow steps 1-2 in a pan, then transfer everything to your rice cooker with the rice and liquid. For Instant Pot, use the sauté function for steps 1-2, then add remaining ingredients and cook on the rice setting.
- What can I do if my rice turns out too wet or too dry? For wet rice, cook uncovered for a few additional minutes to evaporate excess moisture. For dry rice, add 2-4 tablespoons of hot broth or water, cover, and let steam off heat for 5-10 minutes.
