A few tips…
- Store any leftover rice in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days
- When making the rice on the stove, it’s important to NOT open the lid of the pot during the cooking process. Only open it after resting the rice for 5 minutes.
- A rice cooker can be used in replace of the stove. Simply rinse and drain the rice, and add the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and mushrooms. No need to pre-soak.

This is honestly pretty good, I made it in my rice cooker with a mushroom medley that I bought at Whole Foods. I’ve cooked a lot of dishes recently with dried shiitakes so I ended up using all fresh mushrooms and used chicken bouillon. I would decrease the water if using a rice cooker because my dish turned out almost too wet. It turned out very very nicely though, I would make this again.
yay glad you liked it!
