- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch salt

- 1 tablespoon mirin (rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon sake
Instructions

- Trim the stems off the mushrooms, removing any woody parts, and cut into thin slices.

Notes
Many recipes use a rice cooker to cook this - if you choose to do so, the method is much the same but liquid level and timing should be as per rice cooker's instructions. Add the mushrooms after getting the liquid level right.
