Fragrant rice with vegetables and mushrooms
3 servings
45 minutes
Aromatic rice with vegetables and mushrooms is a harmonious blend of tender basmati with vibrant vegetables and spicy notes of ginger and garlic. This dish draws inspiration from European cuisine but brings in Eastern nuances through soy sauce and chili. Its rich flavor unfolds gradually: first the soft sweetness of carrots and peppers, then the bitterness of cabbage and the spiciness of garlic and ginger, finishing with juicy mushrooms that add depth. This versatile dish is suitable for both a light lunch and a hearty dinner.
