Another great recipe! Was looking for a side dish that used mushroom and found this. I prepared with fresh shitake mushrooms and dry golden onion soup mix (basically chicken boullion with dry onions) and it was fantastic! We did not object to the salt level, and loved the 'tang' the soy sauce gave the rice. Thanks for posting!

This was really great!! I used fresh mushrooms as that is what I had on hand and had to use instant rice. I baked it for 10 mins, stirred and baked 30 more. I only used 1/2 pkg onion soup mix as suggested by another reviewer. It was easy and I loved it.

I thought this was a bit salty and I even used low sodium soy sauce and a bit less than called for. I used long grain rice as that's all I had. I chopped fresh mushrooms in my mini chopper and then sauteed them in butter before adding to the rice mixture; I didn't use anymore butter, just what was with the mushrooms. I will make this again but I will only use 1/2 a packet of the onion soup. Thanks for a nice alternative to my normal Rice-A-Roni standby.

Made for Zaar Tag. WOW! Kittencal, I have to confess that when I mixed all this together in a bowl I was NOT expecting great things! BUt ooohhhhhhh you are right, this was SO good! I'm sorry I had my doubts at first but Wow - it was I think the best rice recipe I've had! I'll definitely make this again and again! Thank you!
