Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the rinsed rice and toast gently for 1–2 minutes.
Pour in vegetable broth and soy sauce. Add thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes without lifting the lid.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Keep the lid closed while cooking to ensure perfectly fluffy rice.
Use low-sodium broth to control salt levels.
Add peas or spinach for extra vegetables.
For extra richness, stir in a small knob of butter at the end.
