Mushroom Fried Rice

 

I often have Mushroom Fried Rice whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant but the truth is that it is quite challenging to make this dish at home. You will also notice that when made at home this dish will have a huge difference in taste. The most important thing is to add a sufficient quantity of mushrooms so that you can taste stir fried mushrooms in every bite. Moreover, as compared to the restaurants you will find it very economical to make it at home as it will turn out to be tasty and will serve 4 to 5 people.

This dish is quick to prepare if you have cooked rice available. I generally cook some extra rice and keep it refrigerated overnight. As a result I can prepare fried rice within 10 to 15 minutes the next day. This dish is also a good way to utilize any leftover rice.
