Pink Oyster Coconut Rice

Pink Oyster mushrooms, grown fresh from our very own grow kit, are not only visually striking but also incredibly flavorful. In this recipe, I paired them with creamy coconut rice and a savory gravy, creating a dish that’s both comforting and full of depth. Growing your own Pink Oysters makes this dish even more special, showcasing the unique taste of mushrooms harvested right at home.

Ingredients:

For the Coconut Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
1 cup water
1 tsp salt

For the Pink Oyster Mushrooms:

1 lb Pink Oyster mushrooms (fresh or grown from a Pink Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gravy:

1 cup vegetable stock
1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
1 small shallot, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp butter or plant-based butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the Coconut Rice:

In a medium pot, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

2. Sauté the Pink Oyster Mushrooms:

Clean and slice your Pink Oyster mushrooms. If you’re using homegrown mushrooms from a Pink Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit, be sure to harvest them fresh before cooking.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they’re tender and slightly crispy on the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Make the Gravy:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook until soft.
Stir in the flour (or cornstarch) to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the vegetable stock, allowing the gravy to thicken. Add soy sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.

4. Assemble the Dish:

Serve the coconut rice as a base on your plate.
Spoon the sautéed Pink Oyster mushrooms on top.
Drizzle the savory gravy over the dish for a rich, flavorful finish.
