Preparation
- Step 1
Place shiitake mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with 2 ¼ cups water. Allow to soak 1 to 3 hours. Remove mushrooms, reserving the liquid, and squeeze mushrooms over the bowl. Remove and discard mushroom stems, and slice mushrooms into ¼ inch strips.
- Step 2
In a medium-size (about 4 quarts) clay pot (or other kind of pot) over medium heat, combine 1 ¼ cups reserved mushroom liquid, sake, mirin and soy sauce. Add rice and stir gently. Top rice with mushrooms, burdock, hijiki, carrots and edamame; do not stir.
- Step 3
Cover, and raise heat to bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 16 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 8 minutes. Using a spatula, fluff up the rice, and garnish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds. If desired, serve accompanied by Japanese pickled silced daikon, hijiki, or cucumbers, or a green salad.

Hmm... does the 15 grain rice really cook in 24 minutes with no long pre-soak, only a rinse? Mine didn't. After reading about 15 grain rice elsewhere on the web, I did pre-soak mine in hot water for an hour. It was edible but certainly not mushy after another 45 minutes of cooking. Mine contained brown, black and brown sweet rice, plus some beans (and other grains too).
