Japanese mixed rice is cooked by boiling rice with sautéed dressings or with unsautéed ingredients. Sautéed dressings make the dish rich in flavor while the unsautéed variety lets the natural flavor of the ingredients come through. This recipe uses the dressing of sautéed mushroom and chicken to add a rich taste to the dish.
