Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 oz button mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1 cup frozen peas thawed
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 3 cups cooked brown rice preferably day-old
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce plus more to taste
- 2 green onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper, peas, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the remaining olive oil into the empty side and add the rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture and stir continuously for 3 to 5 minutes, until the rice is heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
You can substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos for a gluten-free option. Add your preferred protein such as chicken or tofu for more flavor.
