Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegan option
  • 1½ cup pumpkin puree approx 1-15oz can, I use Libby's pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems removed and sliced
  • 1½ cup Japanese rice (sushi rice) unwashed
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt to taste

Toppings (optional)

  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Roasted white sesame
  • Ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat up the chicken broth and pumpkin puree together in a saucepan.
  • Heat up the olive oil in a large pan. Cook the onion and garlic together until lightly browned.
  • Add in the mushrooms and sauté until soft, for about 3 minutes.
  • Add in the rice and cook for 1 minute to coat the grains with oil.
  • Pour in the wine and scrape off any burned bits at the bottom (deglaze).
  • Add one cup of heated broth to the rice and stir frequently but not constantly. Once the liquid is absorbed, add one more cup of broth. Keep adding broth one cup at a time until the rice is al dente soft (slightly firm) but not mushy. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Mix in the sesame oil. Adjust the flavor with salt if necessary.
  • Optional: garnish with scallions, white sesame and ground black pepper.
