Method :
- Place shiitake mushrooms into a bowl, cover with 500ml boiling water and soak for 10 minutes. Drain, squeezing gently to remove any excess liquid, remove tough stalks and slice thinly. Reserve soaking liquid to be added to the rice in Step 2.
- Wash the rice and place in a rice cooker or large saucepan with soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, salt and 500ml of reserved shiitake liquid (add cold water if needed to make 500ml). Stir to combine.
- Place leek, salmon and reserved shiitake mushrooms on top of the rice.
- If using a rice cooker, cook according to the manufacturer's instruction. If not, cover saucepan with a tight fitting lid and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer rice covered for 20-25 minutes or until cooked. The rice is cooked when small steam holes are visible on its surface.
- Remove lid, sprinkle with mirin and gently flake salmon with a fork. Add shiso and stir lightly to combine.
- Serve topped with nori and sesame seeds.
