Do you like cashew nut? We love it. It’s a favourite ingredient for every single one of us in the family. Cashew nut can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. I love the crunchy texture and nutty flavour cashew nut bring into the dish.
And so, this is another one of our favourite rice dishes. It’s not that I am so lazy that I need to come up with 15 minutes recipes all the time. But these recipes are actually super simple and lightening fast. They maybe quick, but the results are never disappointed.
Mushroom and Cashew nut rice are one of those 15 minutes recipes. It is so simple and easy. Cashew nut gives a wonderful crunch into the soft, savoury rice that has been cooked in vegetable broth. I couldn’t think of anything more comforting than an oozing mushroom juice from those tender sliced. The mushroom infused that homey, earthy scented into every bite.
Mushroom and Cashew Nut Rice in 15 minutes
Ingredients: (4 Servings)
2 cup rice
3 1/4 cup vegetable stock
200 gm white button mushroom- sliced
75 gm raw cashew nut
3-4 cloves garlic- minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp butter
Preparation
- Cooked rice in vegetable stock with some butter. Cover and let it cook in medium heat.
- In another stove, heat oil in the pan over the medium heat and fry cashew nut until golden brown. Remove cashew nuts form the oil and keep aside.
- In the same pan, saute garlic until aromatic, then add mushroom and soy sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes or until the mushroom become soft.
- Add the cooked mushroom into the rice that is still cooking, stir well and cook further until the rice is cooked. Turn off the heat.
- Add cashew nut and gently stir to mix well. Cover the rice further for 3-5 minutes to get the wonderful nutty aroma infused into the rice. Serve hot with some chili sauce or more soy sauce.
This is how our lunch looks like, simple and warm. The mushroom was super tender yet juicy. The rice was so hot, soft and flavorful. It gave a wonderful surprise whenever we got some crunchy cashew nut in our mouths.
Have a beautiful day,

Nice combo n looks yum
Looks fabulous! I do love nuts in rice dishes, and mushrooms are one of my favorite vegetables ever, anyways. I’d love this dish
Wow I love cashew nuts and this looks really delicious. Thanks for sharing this. Have a great day.
Mmm, what a great dish…it’s speedy with ingredients I love. I want to make it tomorrow and add in some greens…any recommendations? Thanks for the recipe, Tes!
I am sure you can added pea, snow beans, carrot or broccoli in it, too
Awesome! Cashews are so wonderful. it’s really a tragedy that their price per pound has nearly doubled. It is rare that I can afford to spend $19/pound of nuts. Maybe it’s just a west coast thing.
I love this dish, Tes, haven’t made it in ages, thanks for the reminder
Love this combination. Easy as well. I am sure it is yummy
Looks delicious – definitely going to give it a try!
This recipe is right up my alley, I LOVE cashews- congrats on Foodbuzz Top 9!
er when do i put the garlic in
Oh so sorry about that. Add garlic just before you cook mushroom. The idea is to flavour the oil with garlic before stir frying mushroom. I did edit the recipe now. Thanks for pointing that out
I can’t wait to try this! Congrats on top 9!
Genius idea! That looks soooo good. I never in a million years would have put cashews in a rice!
Buzzed and Congrats on Top 9 awesomeness!
Awesome dish. I will be making it soon. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds fabulous… it definitely doesn’t seem lazy, just tasty!
Can I use Canned Mushrooms? We can’t get fresh mushrooms rarely here.
This is so opposite
I have never use canned mushroom, so frankly, I don’t know what it would be like. But trying new recipe is all about experimenting, I think you should give it a whirl 
Thank you Tes! I will give it a whirl when my mom lets me make dinner next week! Yippee! Ps: I Love your site!
