Quick launch of mushrooms curry over rice (咖喱蘑菇饭).
As a big fan of all type of curry over rice, I miss the taste and flavor of curry from time to time. Basically beef and chicken curry are the two most popular options on our table in China. There is always time when you do not want to go to market, searching for ingredients but make sometime delicious with ingredient on hand. That’s how this one is invented.
There are always lots of mixed mushrooms here in the market, usually 4-5 types or mushrooms are package together and there are still several options to choose from.
Basically for those who are on vegan diet, I recommend mushrooms a lot. You can create a very similar texture of meat using mushrooms especially king oyster mushrooms. Beech mushroom matches with curry greatly too. I recommend using this three types but you can combine other types too.
In addition, I love to cook the mushrooms using the very unique Sichuan style water boiling (水煮), just like water boiled pork.
Cooks’ Note
- Mushrooms should be fried until the water content is almost removed for better flavoring.
- Eggs are optional. You can fry them for a longer time to get a more aromatic flavor or use light scrambled method to create a tender texture.
Ingredients
- 3 button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 fresh shiitake mushrooms, remove the ends and finely sliced
- 1 small box of beach mushroom (I use brown and white mix), remove the hard ends
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp. vegetable cooking oil
- 100g golden curry paste, can be purchased in Asian stores or on amazon.
- 2 eggs for serving, whisked (optional)
- 3 servings rice
- Spring onion for decoration
Steps
Prepare all of the ingredients.
Heat oil over pan and fry red onion until aromatic and slightly seared. Place the mushroom in and fry for 1 or 2 minutes until well softened.
Add curry paste and 3 cups of water. Simmer to boil and heat for another minute until well thickened.
Pan-fry the egg and top this vegan curry with steamed rice or noodles.

Hello Elain, I am enjoying your website a lot. Your recipe are delicious and enspire me.
I would like to try this recipe too. “Golden Curry Paste” is required. I do not know that paste. Can you reccommend another one (yellow, green or red pasete)?
Keep up the great work.
Hi Elaine,
Mushroom curry looks yummy 😋
Where can I buy golden curry paste in canada?
Your recipes simple and delicious
Thanks for sharing,
Nely
World market is a great place to purchase golden curry.
Thanks for the information, Penny.
What is “golden curry paste?” Do you have to buy the mix or do you have a recipe to make it at home? I live in Atlanta and we have good markets to purchase Chinese products.
William,
Curry is not native to Chinese cuisine. You can find it in Asian stores especially for Japanese food, India food or it can be also purchased from amazon.
Delicious and super simple. I ended up using fresh button, shiitake & chanterelle mushrooms, plus soaked some dried wood ear and 3 more shiitake add that to the curry mix.
If you are in the UK you can buy on Ocado golden curry.
Next time I would like to add the egg and maybe a chicken katsu.
I picked up 4-5 varieties of mushrooms at the farmers market. OMG! Super easy and delish! Will definitely make again.
Thanks Lisa!!
