    Separate shimeji mushrooms into small florets, slice the carrot thinly, and blanch the fried tofu to remove excess oil before cutting it into fine pieces.

    Rinse the rice and add water up to the 2-cup line.

  3. 3

    Add the ★ seasonings and gently mix the rice.

  4. 4

    Place the cut vegetables and fried tofu on top without mixing, then cook using your rice cooker.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, the rice will develop a fragrant, crispy golden crust with a deep, flavorful taste.

  6. 6

    The flavor may be mild, so add about 1 tbsp of white dashi if needed to adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Tips

Adding mirin enhances the flavor and helps create a beautiful golden crust. The mushrooms pair wonderfully with the ingredients, and the fried tofu adds richness to the dish. Tip: blanch and freeze fried tofu in advance for convenient cooking.
