Solo Cooking God's Pan-Seared Shiitake Mushroom Rice Bowl

Cooking tips 💡

• When you don’t have mirin or cooking wine, mix sugar and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio to perfectly replicate the subtle sweetness and acidity of mirin.
• Be sure to sear the pork belly well at first, like bacon, to draw out maximum richness and aroma from the pork fat—this ensures deep flavor penetration into the mushrooms and onions.
• Generously sprinkling pepper at the end is a master touch that cuts through the greasiness of the pork, leaving a clean, balanced finish.
