This one-pot dinner takes inspiration from a classic Cantonese comfort dish. We use dried shiitake mushrooms, oyster sauce and soy sauce for a triple hit of umami savoriness that pairs perfectly with chicken and fragrant jasmine rice. Rehydrating the shiitakes creates a rich, earthy broth in which to cook the rice. During steeping, some dirt or grit may settle in the bottom of the bowl; slowly pouring the liquid into the rice should help prevent it from escaping.

Very tasty
I will definitely make this again, but I will either reduce the rice to 1 cup or add more liquid to the mushroom water. After 15 minutes the liquid was pretty much completely absorbed and the rice was nowhere near done. I added about another 3/4 cup of water and cooked it some more.
