This one pot mushroom rice is so flavorful and perfect for my vegetarian friends. The bamboo also adds a nice crisp in texture. The fresh basil makes the rice so fragrant and colorful when you add it at the end ◡̈
To make this recipe, all you need is a rice cooker! I love adding all my ingredients in there and all I have to do is wait for the magic to happen 🙂 Yummy dinners should be no fuss and only takes 15 minutes to prepare.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A RICE COOKER, HERE ARE ALTERNATIVE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
I understand that not everyone has a rice cooker, so some of us might use pots to cook the mushroom rice. If that is you, get your medium sized pot ready. Add the rice and mushrooms according to the recipe directions. Once your pot is filled with rice and all the ingredients…follow the instructions below and you can make your one pot mushroom rice!
- Heat pot to medium high and cook for 7-9 minutes covered. You will need to watch over the fire because the water might boil over ◡̈
- Turn heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes.
- Then turn off the heat and do not open the covered pot. Leave for 25-30 minutes covered. After the 30 minutes is up, add your sliced green onions and basil. Hope you enjoy!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR ONE POT MUSHROOM RICE:
- short grain rice (Japanese sushi rice is great for this!)
- water
- fresh shiitake mushrooms
- bamboo shoots, thinly sliced (make sure you have the already cooked version!)
- ginger
- garlic
- shallot
- dark soy sauce
- soy sauce
- oyster sauce (use vegan or regular)
- sugar
- olive oil
garnish:
- 1 green onion or chives, thinly sliced
- 4-7 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
STEPS TO MAKE THE ONE POT MUSHROOM RICE:
- Soak 1 cup short grain rice with 2 cups water. Using short grain rice is perfect because it has a nice sticky and chewy consistency. Soaking the rice in water helps soften the rice as short grain rice can be hard in the center if not soaked.
- While rice is soaking, you can prep the other ingredients. Slice 2 shiitake mushrooms and 1 cup of cooked bamboo. Mince ginger, garlic and shallot.
- Wash your rice with running water until the water is clear (takes 3-4 times). Strain the water from the rice.
- Next, add all the ingredients to the rice: add 3/4 cup of water, 2 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced 1 cup cooked bamboo shoots, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, minced garlic, minced shallot, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color), 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (use vegan or regular), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Mix everything together and place rice in the rice cooker. If you don’t have a rice cooker, see pot instructions above. Press the button and wait!
- Slice fresh basil and green onions. Once the rice is ready, add sliced basil and green onions in the rice. Mix together and serve. Hope you enjoy!

I saw this recipe on ig and it looked so good, just had to try it and so glad I did!!! It tastes so nourishing & comforting, love bamboo so much! I followed the recipe exactly, only added more shiitake + shimeji. Steamed broccolini on top along with it, pretty good pairing.
Definitely making this again asap, going in the rotation for sure! Can’t believe I’ve only used my rice cooker for plain rice before this lol. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe ☺️
