Shiitake Mushrooms & Fresh Chives Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (or roughly 3 cups of cooked rice)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 250 g fresh shiitake mushrooms (diced)
- 1/2 tsp flower of salt (or sea salt)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 6 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Prepare the rice (skip this step if you already cooked white rice in a rice cooker)
- In a small pot, rince the rice, changing the water at least once. Then, using the same measuring cup, add 2 cups of water to your rice and bring to a boil.
- Once it starts bubbling gently, turn the heat down to low and cover with a lid. Leave for 10 to 13 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed (you can gently tilt the pot to check).
- Remove from heat and keep covered for another 10 minutes. Then remove the lid and fluff up the rice with a fork or a silicone spoon.
Sauté the mushrooms
- In a frying pan, add the olive oil, butter, shiitake mushrooms and salt. Sauté over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are caramelized and stop releasing water.
- Reduce heat to low and add the soy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Combine all the ingredients
- Remove frying pan from heat. Add the rice and fresh chives to the mushrooms and mix it all together.
