Broccoli Fried Rice With Mushrooms

This broccoli fried rice is an easy dinner which is gluten free and also vegetarian. All you need is 30 minutes and you have a quick and easy dinner ready on the table.

I make this broccoli fried rice on days when I am not very well and need to make a quick dinner and save some for the tiffin for my kid, the next day. My daughter loves it and I usually serve it with a light soup. A great way to infuse broccoli in kids meals and it does a good job of hiding it.

Addition of mushrooms in the broccoli fried rice, gave this dish a new dimension in terms of taste. You can totally skip it but if you eat mushrooms, do add and see how mushrooms and broccoli are amazing together.

Broccoli is a super food and I make sure my family consumes broccoli twice a week or more than that in fact. My daughter doesn’t usually like florets and hence I end up looking for such recipes which help hide the vegetable. This recipe of broccoli fried rice sure does a good job of hiding broccoli.
