A simple and easy-to-make mushroom mixed rice that doesn't require dashi. Its rustic flavor pairs well with any side dish. The convenience of freezing chopped mushrooms and cooking them directly from frozen is a major appeal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Rice 2 cups (approx. 300g)
  • Mushrooms, total 200g
  • Shiitake Mushrooms 3 pcs
  • Enoki Mushrooms 50g
  • Shimeji Mushrooms 50g
  • Maitake Mushrooms 50g

Seasonings

  • Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. After rinsing the **2 cups of rice**, drain it in a colander and then add it to the inner pot of your rice cooker.
  2. Add water to the inner pot until it reaches the **1.5-cup mark (slightly less than 2 cups)**, and let it soak for **30 minutes to 1 hour**. **(This is the key!)** Soak the rice until it becomes milky white.
  3. Once the rice is milky, add **2 tbsp Soy Sauce** and **1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)**. If the total volume is less than the **2-cup line**, add more water.
  4. Gently mix the seasonings with chopsticks or your hand to dissolve them.
  5. Trim the tough ends off the Shimeji and Enoki mushrooms, then cut them into **1cm thick pieces**.
  6. Lightly separate any clumps of Shimeji and Enoki mushrooms.
  7. Lightly tear the Maitake mushrooms by hand, then cut them into **1cm thick pieces**.
  8. Remove the stems from the Shiitake mushrooms, cut them in half lengthwise, then slice them **5mm thick**.
  9. If the Shiitake stems are bright white and fresh, trim off the very end of the stem, then tear them by hand and cook them with the caps. **(This is the key!)** Shiitake stems are also delicious, so use them.
  10. Spread all the chopped mushrooms (Shiitake, Enoki, Shimeji, Maitake) evenly over the rice prepared in step 4.
  11. Cook the rice in the rice cooker.
  12. Once cooked, mix everything together. It's ready!
