Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
  2. Combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes.
  3. Rest the rice for about 10 minutes after cooking. Keep it covered, then fluff it gently with a fork before letting it cool a bit.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and golden.
  5. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Fold the mushroom mixture into the fluffed rice until well combined, being gentle to keep the fluffy texture.
  7. Return the mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly. Press down to create a crispy base. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer to a plate, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
