1
Lightly rinse the rice.
2
Fill the rice cooker bowl with water up to the 2 cup level mark and soak it for about 1 hour.
3
Rehydrate the hijiki in water for about 30 minutes, then drain well.
4
Cut the carrot, shimeji mushrooms, abura-age (I recommend rehydrating it in hot water and draining before using) into bite-sized pieces.
5
Add the all ingredients and seasonings into the rice cooker, then place the mochi on the top (Mochi is not necessary, but it gives the rice a sticky texture!).
6
Cook the rice on the usual setting.
7
When it's done, leave to steam for 10 minutes without opening the rice cooker.
8
Finally, mix the rice gently.
