Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until clear, then parboil in 1.5 cups of salted water for about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a skillet, then sauté 8 ounces of sliced shiitake mushrooms until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of ginger, stirring until fragrant.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the skillet. Add the parboiled rice, 2 tablespoons of red miso paste, and 2 chopped scallions, mixing well. Press down firmly to form a compact layer.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for 15-20 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom. Rotate halfway through to ensure even browning.
  5. Layer the cooked shiitake mushrooms over the crispy rice. Drizzle with spicy mayo (2 tablespoons mayo mixed with 1 tablespoon chili crisp) and blend into the rice.
  6. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and additional chopped scallions over the top. Optionally add a fried egg before serving hot.
