Method
-
Rinse the rice
Weigh the dry rice 300 g. Gently rinse it in changes of cold drinking water and discard the cloudy water.
-
Soak and drain the rice
Soak in fresh water for 30 minutes. Drain in a strainer, shake off excess water and leave for 5 minutes.
-
Slice the shiitake
Wipe any dirt from the shiitake 100 g and cut larger pieces into slices about 5 mm thick.
-
Tear the oyster mushrooms
Tear the larger oyster mushrooms 80 g along the grain into similarly sized strips. Wipe off any moisture.
-
Layer rice and mushrooms
Pour the rice and unsalted kelp stock 2 C into a heavy-bottomed pot. Level the rice, then spread out the shiitake and oyster mushrooms on top.
-
Bring to a boil
Cover the pot and heat over medium-high. Turn down to low when steam escapes under the lid and you hear the liquid boiling.
-
Cook over low heat
Cook covered over low heat for about 15 minutes without opening. Turn off the heat once the bubbling dies down, before you smell anything burning.
-
Rest off the heat
Let the pot sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Tilt the lid away from your body to release the hot steam.
-
Make the scallion soy sauce
Thinly slice the scallions 12 g and mix with Korean all-purpose soy sauce 2 T, sesame oil 1/2 T and toasted sesame 1/2 T.
-
Fold the rice and serve
Slide a rice paddle along the edge of the pot and lift the lower rice to fold it with the mushrooms. Add the sauce at the table. Spread leftover rice in a shallow layer to cool quickly and refrigerate within 1 hour.
