Feel free to use any kind of rice, I used jasmine rice but basmati works just as well. These types of rice cook way faster than regular long-grained rice.
I chose to use white button mushrooms for this dish, you can use this or other types such as crimini or portabella mushrooms. For a vegan version, simply switch out butter and chicken broth for vegan options..
