Notes

* You can use any type of mushrooms you have on hand or even mix them up.

**Feel free to use any type of cooking oil you have on hand. Be it olive, coconut, canola etc.

***You can use any onion of choice. Red onion and green onions are most flavourful with this fried rice.

****You can substitute brown rice with white rice but I guarantee you brown tastes better and it’s the healthier option.

*****I prefer the light soy sauce to dark soy sauce with this recipe. Feel free to even try the mushroom soy sauce or even tamari if you are on a gluten free diet.

******You can substitute chives with cilantro (dania) or parsley. Choose your garnish!
