In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned. Stir in the soy sauce or tamari and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the cooked rice to the skillet and toss everything together, making sure the mushrooms are evenly distributed.
Serve the rice topped with the fried onions and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
