Ingredients- 12 mini sausages
- 100g Hayashi Rice powder
- 1/2 large onion
- 2 king oyster mushrooms
- 400ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin cooking, prepare all your ingredients. Wash the fresh vegetables thoroughly.
Step 2
Make decorative cuts into the mini sausages if desired, about 1-2 cm deep. Chop the onion and king oyster mushrooms into large, bite-sized pieces, approximately 1.5 cm cubes or similar. Cutting them this way helps maintain a pleasant texture during cooking.
Step 3
Lightly oil a preheated pan and grill the cut mini sausages until they are golden brown. Once the sausages are nicely browned, set them aside temporarily. Grilling them this way seals in the juices for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Using the same pan or a clean one, add a little oil and sauté the large chopped onion over medium-low heat. It’s important to cook the onion slowly until it becomes translucent and releases its sweet aroma. This step significantly deepens the flavor of the Hayashi Rice.
Step 5
Once the onion starts to turn translucent, add the prepared king oyster mushrooms and sauté them together. Cook until the mushrooms soften and shrink slightly. The chewy texture of the mushrooms will create a wonderful contrast with the sausages.
Step 6
When the mushrooms are partially cooked, pour in 400ml of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once the liquid is boiling, proceed to the next step.
Step 7
As the water begins to boil, stir in 100g of Hayashi Rice powder. It’s crucial to dissolve the powder completely without lumps, using a whisk or spoon. Ensure it’s smoothly incorporated into the water.
Step 8
After thoroughly dissolving the Hayashi Rice powder, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to achieve the desired thickness. Your delicious Hayashi Rice, with the flavors of sausage, mushrooms, and onions, is now complete! Serve generously over warm rice and enjoy.
