Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the kelp broth, which is the foundation for delicious rice. Steep a piece of dried kelp (about 5x5cm) in approximately 600ml of water for about 10 minutes to create the broth. Once the water starts to boil, turn off the heat and remove the kelp to get a clear broth.
Step 2
Rinsing the rice thoroughly before cooking is essential for a great texture. Gently rinse the rice 2-3 times, drain it in a sieve, and let it soak for at least 10 minutes. This allows the rice grains to absorb moisture, resulting in softer and tastier cooked rice.
Step 3
Now, melt the butter and spread a thin layer evenly over the inside of the rice cooker pot, including the bottom and sides. This butter coating helps prevent the rice from sticking and imparts a subtle, rich buttery aroma to the rice, making your mushroom rice cooker dish even more flavorful. Coat the pot thoroughly.
Step 4
Add the soaked rice to the buttered pot. Pour in the 3 cups of kelp broth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of cooking wine and a pinch of salt to ensure the rice is evenly seasoned. Then, start cooking the rice as you normally would.
Step 5
While the rice is cooking, it’s time to prepare the star ingredients: the mushrooms! Clean the king oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms, trim their stems, and then thinly slice or finely chop them to a size suitable for mixing with the rice. Using a variety of mushrooms will enhance the harmony of textures and aromas.
Step 6
Once the water has mostly evaporated and the rice is starting to cook, evenly spread the prepared sliced mushrooms over the top of the rice. Cover the pot and let it steam on low heat for about 10 minutes. During this steaming process, the moisture and aroma from the mushrooms will infuse into the rice grains, completing your delicious mushroom rice cooker dish.
Step 7
Let’s make a flavorful seasoned soy sauce to elevate the taste of your mushroom rice. In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of fragrant sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chopped green onion for extra aroma. Mix well. For added umami, you can add a tiny pinch of salt according to your preference.
Step 8
After the 10-minute steaming is complete, open the lid and gently mix the cooked rice and mushrooms with a spatula. Ensure the mushrooms are evenly distributed throughout the rice. Now, serve the warm mushroom rice cooker dish in bowls and enjoy a nutritious and special meal by mixing it with the delicious homemade seasoned soy sauce!
