Times are different. Changing fast. Especially my childhood which is different from now. I had a hard time finding wild edible mushrooms.

Natural forest areas are getting harder to find. Meanwhile, wild edible mushrooms need fertile soil that is natural without chemical contamination.

The last time I could directly find wild edible mushrooms was when I was little with my late mom. I really miss those times.

Currently, wild mushrooms cannot be cultivated. So, if we find them in the market, then it is a lucky day.

Luckily, today there was a regular vegetable seller who came to my house and offered edible wild mushrooms. She sold me two types of wild mushrooms.

These are all the edible mushrooms that I bought for $2. I am very happy with what I got. It is worth it!

So, I will share about a traditional grilled rice menu that I made from mushroom ingredients!

This grilled rice is very authentic with its aroma. In addition to the rich taste of spices and herbs, banana leaves that wrap the ingredients add a distinctive aroma to the overall taste.

When banana leaves are grilled, they will release fragrant natural oils. So, it will enhance the delicious taste of food wrapped in banana leaves.

In addition to these things, basil leaves also play an important role in the taste. Basil leaves will divert the unpleasant smell of mushrooms so that the final taste of the dish becomes delicious.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE MUSHROOMS

F5088834-8228-4396-B5E2-FC7BDD129681.jpeg

Remove the outer skin of the mushrooms, as well as any rotten parts of the mushrooms because mushrooms can easily rot in the hot air at home. Also, wash them well.



BLANCH MUSHROOMS

A52AC911-7599-47BB-84AB-082446DB872D.jpeg

Boil water with salt, then add mushrooms with bay leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Cook for 3 minutes. This blanching method is to remove dirt that is still stuck to the mushrooms and also remove the earthy smell that sticks to the mushrooms.

After the mushrooms are finished being blanched, drain and set aside.



COOK SPICES AND HERBS

WRAPPING THE RICE

Prepare the rice, stir-fried mushrooms, and banana leaves. For the banana leaves, measure about two hand spans for one portion of grilled rice.

Prepare a grill. Here, I only use a non-stick teflon.

SERVING

Serve the grilled rice while it is warm. For a beautiful presentation, the grilled rice can be cut into two parts like the pictures I present here.

I didn't even think that the menu of mushrooms was so delicious! Even my husband said that this grilled rice can be sold in cafes.

Delicious combination, mushrooms, basil and rice. In itself, all the ingredients add a delicious flavor to your dish. I like mushrooms very much, so this dish could be part of the list of my favorites. Cheers.

basil is also be great to add rich fragrant for food :)

Awesome! Indeed a lucky day for you. :D That looks so good especially with the banana leaves.

I am always happy when one of my regular sellers offers rare vegetables. It is also like reliving my childhood :)

It's cool you know what's edible and not when it comes to mushroom. Coz even with the internet, and I can learn more about it, I'm still afraid to try and eat especially what we can find at home 🤧. Anyways, this recipe looks so good. And with the banana leaves wrapping on it, that for sure added more deliciousness into this recipe. Can I have three of that please 🤤🤤🤧😆

When it comes to mushrooms, of course we can't play around. From the internet, various photos of mushrooms can look the same and that's dangerous.

I learned about edible mushrooms passed down from my family since I was little. We used to live on the edge of the forest so we often ate wild ingredients.

Mushroom is not a common diet here but I love it anyway. Seeing the wild variety and your touch of cooking, made me crave for some.
The meal looks simple yet the leaf presentation boosts the whole dish. Loved it.

In my area, we often consume mushrooms as a healthy source of protein :)

That's great. Mushrooms are great and I love them. But it's hard to find here and the price is too high.
Have a good day.

Finding mushrooms like this now feels like a rare treasure and looks very delicious.

yes, that's really treasure

Those types of mushrooms are normally found in India during monsoon times. after a long time, I saw photos of them. It reminds me Indian wild mushroom taste. Your recipe looks unique. :)

quite a good choice for a substitute for chicken and meat @anggreklestari

This recipe was something quite unexpected, but it looks pretty good.
