About this dish
The shiitake and onion are minced fine and sautéed in sesame oil before the rice goes in, so the mushroom flavor runs through every spoonful without chewy bits.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Rinse 1 cup rice, soak it in cold water for 30 minutes, and drain it well.
Finely chop 150 g shiitake mushrooms and 80 g onion.
- 2
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a pot over medium heat and cook the chopped onion and shiitake for 4 minutes.
- 3
Add the soaked rice and stir for 2 more minutes until the grains are evenly mixed with the sesame oil and mushrooms.
- 4
Pour in 1000ml water, reduce to medium-low heat, and cook for 22 minutes with the lid slightly ajar, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Watch for the broth to thicken as the rice grains burst open.
- 5
Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 tsp pepper, then simmer 5 more minutes on low heat to integrate flavors and adjust thickness.
The salty umami of soy sauce completes the earthy depth from shiitake.
- 6
Check the consistency - it should flow slowly from a spoon.
Serve in a stone bowl or wide dish immediately before it cools.
