Ingredients
- 300 grams Mushrooms
- 1 cup Rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Onions medium sized
- 1 teaspoon garlic chopped, optional
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Green chilli sauce
- 1 teaspoon black Pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1.25 cup vegetable stock
Instructions
Caramelise Mushroom
- To caramelise mushrooms, first in the inner pot of IP add together 1tablespoon butter and olive oil. Switch on IP on saute mode.
- As butter melts add sliced mushrooms and garlic( if you are using) and keep them sautéing while stirring continuously. Saute them till mushrooms are caramelised and golden brown.
- Take them out of the pot and keep aside.
Cook Rice
- For cooking rice, add 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pot and add small diced onions and cook them while continuously stirring until they are brown and caramelised.
- Next, add in rice (I washed them before and drained out water).
- Along with rice add in soy sauce, salt, green chilli sauce, black pepper and vegetable stock.
- Mix to combine and cover it with the Instant pot lid.
- Set the IP on high-pressure mode for 3 minutes and then for 10 minutes let it sit.
- After 10 minutes, force release the remaining pressure and open the lid.
- Add back caramelised mushrooms, chopped basil, scallions (if using) and mix gently and enjoy steaming hot mushroom rice.

Notes
- Caramelising both onions and mushrooms is a must. That’s the most important. While cooking them in the instant pot make sure to keep them stirring as you can’t control heat on saute mode.
- If you are making on the stovetop cook them low and slow that’s the method to caramelise them. You do not want both of these brown from outside and raw from inside.
- If you are cooking rice in Instant pot, the liquid to rice ratio in Instant Pot is 1part rice to 1.25 part liquid. It is less than what we use on the stovetop. This also depends on the quality and length of grain you are using.
- You can use one tablespoon of butter and skip that extra tablespoon of butter if you are conscious about your fat intake. But you know butter adds that extra deliciousness in any rice dish so you make choice (It’s tough one I know :D)
