    Tips and Tricks for Perfect Marinated Mushrooms

    ingredients for wild rice with mushrooms

    Stir Marinated Mushrooms 

    Make sure to stir the mushrooms in the marinade a few times while they are soaking. This will help to evenly coat the mushrooms and create a delicious flavor throughout the dish when cooked. 

    Cooking Rice 

    You can use a rice cooker or Instant Pot if you don't want to cook your rice on the stovetop. Just cook the rice as as directed for whatever device you decide to use.

    Variations

    Swap Variety Of Rice 

    Feel free to make this dish using white rice, jasmine rice, or brown rice instead of the wild rice. You can use any variety of rice that you prefer or have on hand. Just make sure to adjust the cook time of the rice according to the package. This also works well with other whole grains such as quinoa or barley.

    Change Up The Vegetables 

    This dish is great for using up vegetables in your pantry. I have found that even veggies like yellow squash are a great mix-in for this dish. Just chop up whatever vegetables you decide to use and add them in!

    It's a win-win when you can clean out your old produce and create a satisfying meal. 

    Try Adding Tofu 

    Consider dicing up a bit of tofu, cooking it, and mixing it into the mushroom and rice mix. You could even marinate the tofu with the mushrooms for added flavor. Then cook your tofu when you cook the mushrooms. 

    FAQs

    close up of wild rice with mushrooms

    How do you store leftover mushrooms and rice? 

    This dish is best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for a few days. If you have leftovers, you can store the mix in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Anything left after three days will need to be tossed out.

    What are the health benefits of wild rice? 

    Wild rice is a wonderful mix of protein and fiber. Wild rice is also a source of antioxidants, if you want to incorporate more into your diet. 

    What mushrooms should I use for marinated mushrooms? 

    I used cremini mushrooms, but you could also use shiitake mushrooms, white button mushrooms, or sliced portobello mushrooms. Softer mushrooms like oyster mushrooms will not hold up as well to the marinade.
