Notes
SOY SAUCE AND BROTH/VEGAN DASHI
- If you’re using broth or veg stock that’s heavily seasoned, you can skip the soy sauce first and just add soy sauce into the rice after cooking and mixing the spicy miso sauce, if you feel it needs extra seasoning.
SAKE / MIRIN
- If using mirin, you can skip the sugar since mirin has higher sugar content.
MISO PASTE
- White miso paste has sweeter notes and is milder than more fermented miso paste like red miso paste. If using red miso paste, you can start with 1 tbsp for the sauce and adjust accordingly.
NO RICE COOKER?
- You can use a regular pot with a lid and cook this on a stovetop. If using a regular pot, I recommend to lightly oil the surface of the pot to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Cook the rice and cover the pot with all the seasonings and mushrooms over low heat for 25-30 minutes over low heat or until the rice is cooker through. Keep an eye out on the rice to prevent from burning.
- If the liquid has evaporated and the rice is still not cooked, you can add 1-2 tbsp more water as needed.
