But what a lovely accident...the mushrooms provided an almost buttery flavor and aroma to the dish! Yum! My changes: I cooked this on the stovetop, used leftover frozen (and thawed rice), skipped the oil and used just enough veggie broth to keep everything from sticking to the wok/keep everything moist.
