<Ingredients>

1/2 cup* (90 cc) regular rice
3 tbsp quinoa

1 tsp soy sauce
A few stems of mitsuba
1 rice cooker cup = 180 cc

<Notes>
  • How to figure out liquid/dashi volume for the recipe: Regular rice (dry) needs approximately 10% more liquid by volume, while dry quinoa takes about 50% more liquid by volume. In the above case, 99 cc liquid for 90 cc rice and 4.5 tablespoons (67.5 cc) liquid for 3 tablespoons (45 cc) quinoa are needed. Then, from their total of 166.5 cc, subtract the volume of sake (1/2 tablespoon, or 7.5 cc) and soy sauce (1 teaspoon, or 5 cc), which makes 154 cc. Due to moisture content of matsutake, about 150 cc of dashi is enough.
  • Grill matsutake (without oil), ideally with sumi charcoal, beforehand for an even more intense aroma.
  • Matsutake is known for its aroma. In terms of flavor, shimeji mushrooms are actually more tasty.
  • Mitsuba can be mixed in rice before serving.
  • When using regular rice only (no quinoa), 1 tbsp sake, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce and approximately 180 cc dashi is a good start for a sodium-conscious version. If more sodium is allowed, you can add a pinch of salt.
  • The matsutake in our area are white, while in Japan and other Asian countries they are brown.
