Mushroom Fried Rice

This great and simple vegetarian dish will use up any leftover rice and mushrooms in the house.
  • 1/4 C fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp chopped onion
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1 C cold cooked rice
  • 1/4 C frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 egg, beaten
1.  In a medium skillet, cook mushrooms and onion in oil until tender.  Stir in the rice, vegetables, and soy sauce and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are cooked through and most liquid is evaporated.
2.  Add egg; cook and stir for1-2 minutes or until egg is set.

Robyn's notes: I'm really very much a scent cook, certain ingredients make a dish smell so good that I get much more excited about it than you would expect.  Soy sauce is one, as soon as I add it to the skillet my tummy starts rumbling!  Try Chicken Fried Rice for another tasty version.  Watch me demonstrate this recipe on youtube!

*** 3 Stars: Good. At least one of us liked this enough for me to make it again, but not often
