Step 1

Cook rice according to package instructions* (use veggie broth for more flavor if desired).

Step 2

Meanwhile, finely dice onion. Slice mushrooms, not too thin, about 1/3-1/4 inch.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 7-8 minutes. (I use water/veggie broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Step 4

Add mushrooms and cook another 8 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, mince garlic and slice green onions.

Step 6

When mushrooms are softened, add garlic and sauté 1 minute.

Step 7

Reduce heat to medium. Add cooked rice, green onions, and tamari.

Step 8

Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes or until heated through. (Add spinach and/or mung bean sprouts during this step if using.)

Step 9

Season to taste with more tamari if desired before serving.
