Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and fully cooked.
While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mushroom mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the creamy mushroom sauce over a bed of cooked white rice.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Pair this dish with steamed greens like bok choy or broccoli for a balanced meal.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
