Wash the sushi rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Let it drain for about 10 minutes.
Use a Fukuro Pan or Pot heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and green beans to the pan, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes. Using kitchen tools like a spatula or wooden spoon will make the process smoother and prevent damage to your Fukuro non-stick frying pan.
Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors. In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the rice mixture and stir well.
Pour the dashi stock (or water with dashi powder) into the pan, covering the rice and vegetables. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Tips: Use the Fukuro Kanzen Non-Stick Fry Pan for a smooth cooking experience. Fukuro cookware ensures even heat, helping all ingredients cook thoroughly and achieve perfect flavors and textures, making it ideal for dishes.
