Type of mushroom to use
Personally, I prefer using button mushrooms to make mushroom rice but you can use whichever variety you like. Even a combination of different mushrooms can be used, it will give an interesting texture to the dish and make it more flavorful.
You can also use canned mushrooms. However, avoid using frozen ones in this recipe as they will lose their shape in this dish.
Also, cut big chunks of mushroom for this recipe.

Thank you.
Thanks Linda. I have used long-grain Indian Basmati rice. You can also make it with Jasmine rice or any variety of long or medium size rice grains that are not very sticky. To make any type of fried rice, it's best to use leftover rice, preferably refrigerated for a few hours.
