No-Fail Mixed Maitake Mushroom Rice
- 700 grams White rice (uncooked)
- 2 packs Maitake mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Mentsuyu
- 1 tbsp Cooking sake
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 Katakuriko
- Cook the rice: The ratio is 1 pack of maitake mushrooms to 1 rice cooker cup of rice!
- I made 2 cups this time.
- Shred the maitake: Shred the maitake into sizes shown in the photo!
- Approximate is fine!
- Seasoning: Combine the ingredients and soak the maitake.
- While the rice is cooking: Allow the mushrooms to marinate for about 30 minutes until the rice is cooked.
- They will have slightly reduced in size and will look like this!
- The secret ingredient: Coat the maitake in katakuriko and mix!
- This will transform the white rice into a texture similar to glutinous rice
- Frying the maitake: Heat a large amount of oil in a frying pan to cook the maitake (it's somewhere in between pan-frying and deep-frying....)
- Cook the maitake until they are crispy!
- Heat over high to intensely cook them!
- The maitake give off a nice aroma when fried...
- This is the reason that they taste good even when not cooked together with the rice.
- Once one side has become crispy, flip over and cook the other side over high heat for 2-3 minutes!
- Once both sides have fried, place on a cutting board and let them cool...
- Finely chop them up!
- Don't worry if they become sticky!
- That's the secret to making the white rice glutinous!
- Mix!
- Mix!
- Combine the maitake with the hot white rice...
- It's done!
- I recommend using a small bottomless circular mold to create this shape.
- They are so sticky and delicious!
- No-Fail!
