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.

Fried rice with broccoli and mushroom sounds ingenious idea of getting kids to eat those veggies. The fried rice looks yummy
Love to add as many veggies in my fried rice and adding broccoli is a fantastic idea. For kids, nice idea to break down florets into very small pieces.
Nandita this is really a clever idea actually. In food processor they will be in tiny pieces which kids can not take out. Loved this. Having food processor and I did not think of it. awesome dear

Just wonderful to make fried rice with broccolis, and am sure this fried rice will definitely please some hungry tummies quickly. What a wonderful way to sneak broccolis.
Whenever I bring broccoli, I fell short of ideas to use it as my kids are averse of broccoli and mushroom both. But in the fried rice I’m they will have it or rather enjoy it. Surely gonna try it.
