Mushroom Bell Pepper Fried Rice

Mushroom Bell Pepper Fried Rice is a quick, colourful and flavourful rice which can be made in just jiffy and satisfy your taste buds. I would suggest to do this wok or deep pan where it is quick and easy to fry veggies, which is why many chefs/cooks use woks while cooking this type of dishes.
In the landscape of food world, generally mushroom are categorized as vegetables, in fact they belong to fungi kingdom, they are not plants. Among the plants its said that the more colourful the fruit or vegetable its rich with vitamins and minerals.
On the contrary mushrooms are high is antioxidants just like carrots, tomatoes, green beans and pumpkins. Selenium is usually not found fruits and vegetables but found in mushrooms which plays a vital role in liver enzyme function and preventing inflammation and tumor growth.
Mushrooms also help in diabetes, in weight management, heart health and also mushrooms provide the basic nutrition such and functional foods that provide us i.e. one cup of sliced raw white mushrooms contains: 15 calories, 0 grams of fat, 2.2 grams of protein, 2.3 grams of carbohydrate, 0.7 grams of fiber and 1.4 grams of sugar. Mushrooms are low in sodium, fat, cholesterol, and calories.
Fried rice is so easy and versatile, one can add any vegetable, we can make it with left over rice or fresh rice. One has to be careful that rice is separate grain to grain. Sticky rice will not serve the purpose and it will not be tasty to have such rice. One can check out the methods of making Rice.
My other mushroom recipes are mushroom xacuti, mushroom roast, mushroom single pot rice.
