Delicious and satisfying, yet quick and easy, this dish is a good way to use leftover cooked rice. It goes well accompanied by a bean soup and a side dish of steamed greens. Recipe provided by The Mitoku Company, our largest supplier of macrobiotic and natural foods.
Serves 2
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 4 Shiitake or other variety of mushrooms 1 small carrot, cut julienne small pinch of sea salt 1 tbsp mirin (optional) 4 green onions, sliced into ½-inch lengths 1 tsp shoyu (soy sauce) ¾-inch section fresh ginger root, peeled and finely minced 2 cups cooked brown or white rice
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms, then the carrots, and toss in the salt. Add the mirin and sauté briefly. Add the green onions and sauté for 5 minutes (carrots should still be a little crunchy, but not raw tasting). Lower heat, add shoyu and ginger, and toss. Add rice, breaking up clumps with the side of a wooden spoon. Mix thoroughly, cover, and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
