Notes

  1. I used portabellini mushroom but white mushroom is fine or if you want gourmet you can use exotic mushrooms and some dried shiitake mushrooms 
  2. If you have some french shallots feel free to use it instead of the onion
  3. Although I didn't add cream to this recipe, I have tried it and it is super delicious with some cream so feel free to add some
  4. It is one of the easiest dishes to cook, just ensure your rice is cooked to perfection before serving
