Hi Mei,

Thank you so much for trying this recipe! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed it and that it’s earned a spot in your autumn rotation. Adding maitake mushrooms sounds like a wonderful touch! The heating can indeed be tricky since both the stove and donabe can vary quite a bit. I hope you’ll find the perfect adjustment for your setup next time. 🙂

Yuto

This turned out delicious. I followed the recipe but added maitake mushrooms. I served it with a little red ginger and some white kimchi. It tasted healthy and comforting. It will definitely be added to our regular rotation for autumn. My rice did burn on the bottom of my donabe. I like crispy race at the bottom but this went a bitt farther to blackened. My stove tends to be a bit hot even on the low setting. Next time I might try skipping the 3min at medium low and going straight to low.
