Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your vegetables for a hearty rice bowl. Thinly slice the onion, king oyster mushroom, and zucchini after washing them thoroughly. Slice the bacon to a similar thickness; it will taste even better when stir-fried.
Step 2
Remove the tough stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice them thinly, just like the other vegetables.
Step 3
Finely julienne the pickled radish (danmuji). This will add a delightful sweet and tangy flavor to your rice bowl.
Step 4
Let’s peel the tomatoes for a smoother texture. Score the skin of each tomato with a shallow cross (X) cut on the bottom, opposite the stem.
Step 5
Blanch the scored tomatoes in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes, just until the skins start to loosen. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool, then gently peel off the skins starting from the scored lines.
Step 6
Once peeled, chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Be careful not to over-chop them, so they retain some texture.
Step 7
Now, let’s stir-fry! Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, king oyster mushroom, zucchini, and bacon. Stir-fry until the vegetables are softened and the bacon is slightly rendered. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.
Step 8
Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients and ensure even seasoning.
Step 9
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the pan and stir well to coat everything evenly. Stir-frying briefly after adding soy sauce enhances its aroma and flavor.
Step 10
Once all the ingredients are nicely stir-fried, pour in 50cc of water and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook gently until the liquid reduces slightly, creating a luscious sauce. Don’t let it dry out completely.
Step 11
When the sauce has thickened to a desirable consistency, reduce the heat to low and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a rich aroma.
Step 12
Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the mixture and give it a gentle stir to finish. Your delicious mushroom and vegetable stir-fry is ready!
Step 13
Prepare a bowl with freshly cooked rice. Warm rice is the perfect base for any topping.
Step 14
Generously spoon the flavorful stir-fried mushrooms and vegetables over the rice. Arrange the julienned pickled radish and chopped tomatoes attractively on top. Your delightful Mushroom and Tomato Rice Bowl is complete! Enjoy your meal!
