My kids love mushrooms. Mushroom is a must in my weekly vegetable shopping. I will buy it first and then decide what to do with it. Mushroom doesn’t stay fresh long so you have to use it with in a day or 2. My kids loved this combo. This is perfect for fried rice or roti. Next day I made bread sandwich with left over gravy too.
