Mushrooms represent the taste of autumn. One such delicious recipe using maitake mushrooms is becoming a hot topic on social media. The official Instagram account (mizkan_official) of major food manufacturer Mizkan Co., Ltd. introduces a recipe for rice cooked with maitake mushrooms. People are saying things like, “I want to try making it.”

The key is to fry the maitake mushrooms with sesame oil and garlic.

The season when fresh rice is delicious. There are various recipes for cooking rice using seasonal ingredients, but I would like to enjoy “seasoned rice that is different from usual” with a little effort.

The only ingredient is maitake mushrooms. Fry in hot sesame oil in a frying pan until fragrant. It’s very simple, just seasoning with mentsuyu, so you can make it without any mistakes.

○ Cooked charred maitake mushrooms

[Ingredients](for 2 people)
Maitake mushroom 1 pack
2 tablespoons mentsuyu (in this post, I used 2x Oigatsuotsuyu)
1 teaspoon garlic (tube)
Mi 2 combined
1 tablespoon sesame oil

[How to make]
1. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, add maitake mushrooms and heat until browned on both sides.
2. Add the mentsuyu and garlic to Step 1 and stir-fry until the liquid evaporates.
3. Put the washed rice and 2 into the rice cooker, add the same amount of water as the rice, and cook.

Stir-fry until the liquid evaporates in step 2, then add a small amount of water and scrape it off so that the flavor of the maitake mushrooms does not remain in the frying pan.

This post received over 2000 likes. Comments include, “I think it smells good,” “Oh no! It’s definitely delicious,” “I love mushroom rice, but I never thought of burning it!” “I wish I could do that! Burning it makes it even more delicious!” We’ve received comments like, “That’s right.”

A delicious cooked rice with the aroma of charred maitake mushrooms, sesame oil, and garlic. I definitely want to enjoy the autumn season full of appetite.
