1. 1 Rinse leftover rice under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain.
2. 2 Boil the dashi broth, season with soy sauce and a pinch of salt.
3. 3 Add the rice and sliced mushrooms, and simmer for 5 minutes until the rice grains are soft.
4. 4 Pour the beaten eggs around the surface of the pot, then immediately turn off the heat and cover for 1 minute.
5. 5 Sprinkle with chopped green onions and then scoop into a bowl.

With an appliance

• Microwave 22 min

  Replace steps 2 through 4: microwave the dashi, mushrooms, and rice in a deep bowl at 700 W for 5 minutes, pour in the egg mixture, and microwave for another 40 seconds at 500 W. Let stand for 1 minute before sprinkling with chopped scallions to allow the egg to set slightly.
