How to make

  1. Prepare. Peel the carrots and set aside.

  3. 2. Make the sweet and salty simmered toppings. Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a bowl with water and follow the package directions to hydrate. Keep 200 ml (6.76 ounces) of soaking liquid and cut the dried shiitake mushrooms into 0.2-inch cubes.
  4. 3. Place the freeze-dried tofu in a bowl with water and follow the package directions to rehydrate. Drain and cut into 0.2-inch cubes.
  5. 4. Place dried gourd shavings in a bowl with water and follow the package directions to hydrate. Drain and cut into 0.2-inch cubes.
  6. 5. Coarsely chop the carrots.
  7. 6. Add soaking liquid from Step 2 and ingredient (A) to a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add dried shiitake mushrooms from Step 2, 3, 4, and 5. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the broth is reduced enough that we can draw a line at the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  8. 7. Make shredded egg omelet (kinshi tamago). Crack the eggs into a bowl, add ingredient (B) and mix well.
  9. 8. Place cooking oil in a medium heated pan, add half of Step 7, and spread it all over. Cook for about 30 seconds until the surface dries, then flip it over, cook for 10 seconds, and remove from the heat. In the same way, cook one more time, then cut them into thin strips.
  10. 9. Make the vinegar mix. Add the vinegar mix ingredients to a separate pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool.
  11. 10. Add rice and pour Step 9 evenly in a bowl, mix in a slicing motion, add the drained Step 6, and mix everything together.
  12. 11. Serve on a plate, cover with Step 8, decorate with Step 1, sweet pink fish flakes (sakura denbu ), and red pickled ginger, and it's ready to serve.

Tips for cooking

Please adjust the amount of salt to your liking. If the dried shiitake mushrooms do not have enough soaking liquid, add water to adjust. Rehydrate dried shiitake mushrooms, freeze-dried tofu, and kanpyo according to the package instructions. Shredded egg omelet (kinshi tamago) was cooked using a 10-inch diameter pan. *If you can’t find freeze-dried tofu and kanpyo in your area, You can look for substitute ingredients or find one online.
