Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. In a large skillet, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil. After the oil is heated, add the mushrooms until they are golden. Season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushrooms cool down for some extra minutes.
On a separate cutting board, slice the scallions into thin pieces. Furthermore, take 2 cloves of garlic and mince them super well. Place all these ingredients in another bowl.
After the mushrooms are slightly cooled, place them again on high-heat and add the rice and the vegetable broth. Mix everything super well, so the dish is thoroughly combined. Furthermore, add the cut scallions and minced garlic cloves. Turn the heat to medium intensity and let it simmer for some extra minutes, until the rice gets a caramel color. It usually takes around 15 minutes.
Remove it from the heat and let it sit aside for an extra 10 minutes so all the flavors are thoroughly combined. Fluff the rice using a wooden spoon and serve the dish. Sprinkle some mint or parsley leaves on top. Enjoy!

Instead of white rice, a great alternative would be brown rice. For it, you will need 2 1/2 cups of liquid for a tender, fluffy consistency. And it usually takes more than 30 minutes to prepare. However, the time is worth it because brown rice is more beneficial for our health. Brown rice has the germ and bran intact. Also, it has many nutrients, specifically fiber, fat, and protein. Other nutrients found include numerous B vitamins, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.
