- While the rice and bean sprouts are steaming, mix together light soy sauce, red pepper powder, sugar, minced garlic, minced scallions, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds to make the seasoning sauce.
- Remove the lid, let it cool slightly, then transfer the rice and bean sprouts to a bowl and serve with the seasoning sauce.
- Place bean sprouts, water, and mirin in the pan, then add instant rice and mushrooms on top.
- Cover and steam over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
- Mix light soy sauce, red pepper powder, scallions, and other seasonings, then toss with the rice and bean sprouts to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- If you already have warm rice, you can skip steaming and simply place it directly on top of blanched bean sprouts.
- Adding mushrooms during cooking helps easily boost texture and nutrients.
