Mushroom rice can be served as a side dish or a main dish. Mushrooms are full of protein, so mushroom rice is actually a complete vegan meal that will leave you stuffed. But it can also be used as a side with other delicious dishes – it goes well with any savory foods!
Mushroom rice has extremely deep flavor because the rice is cooked together with the mushrooms, so the flavors really blend together. If you cooked the rice and the mushrooms separately and just mixed it together, the flavor wouldn’t be quite the same!
