Matsutake Rice

Place rice in a fine wire-mesh strainer, and rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a paper towel–lined baking sheet, and pat dry.

Combine rice, mushrooms, dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in a medium pot; let stand 30 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium-high; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, 15 minutes before serving.
