0 comments



I was very excited when I first chanced upon www.justhungry.com. It was the answer to my thirst for Japanese recipes. The author of the site is a Japanese and I believe that the recipes are very authentic.

Here's a recipe picked up from justhungry.com. I had reduced the proportion of dashi to rice, as opposed to what was stated in the original recipe because the rice was way too mushy.


Ingredients:

  • 320ml of Japanese rice 
  • 200ml dashi stock 
  • 300gm of mixed mushrooms (shiitake, oyster mushroom or Shimeji) 
  • 2 tablespoon of mirin 
  • 2 tablespoon of light soya sauce 
  • 1 fried bean curd (aburaage) (optional) 


Preparation:

  • Wash the rice until water runs clear and drain 
  • Slice the mushrooms or shred with hands 
  • Cut aburaage into small pieces 
  • Marinate mushrooms and aburaage with light soya sauce and mirin for at least an hour 
  • Put rice in a rice cooker, add dashi and mushroom mixture 
  • Cook the rice as per normal 


Number of Servings: 4
