Baked Fried Rice Casserole

Revisited an old recipe that was given to me by a colleague when I was first married and learning to cook.  This "Fried Rice" casserole as it was called is baked.  It is easily put together and then baked covered for an hour at 350 degrees. 

This casserole uses ingredients that are easily found in one's kitchen or pantry.  Variation in this casserole are endless, good way to clean out your refrigerator and a recipe that is very quick to assemble, yet great taste!


 

This recipe has been updated and I must say the appearance and taste is much improved. 



One cup of uncooked long grain rice is covered with twice the amount of water.  To this, my hubby chopped one onion, 2 carrots and 2 stacks of celery.  I also did add the 2 T soya sauce to this.  The mushrooms were tossed in melted butter, Olive oil can also be use, along with a minced garlic clove, hot chili flakes, salt and pepper    




The mushrooms were layered over the rice mixture.  The layer of mushroom were to act as a lid in steaming the uncooked rice, but half way through the cooking, foil was added as the rice was not absorbing any of the liquid. 


This dish served with BBQ pork ribs was a hit at the Sunday Family Dinner.
