Ingredients

6 slices bacon chopped
1 onion finely diced
2 cup mixed mushrooms shimeji, cremini, shiitake, roughly chopped
½ tsp black pepper adjust to taste
1.5 cups heavy cream or milk
½ tsp dashi powder optional
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cups cold cooked rice
1 cup shredded cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or your choice

Instructions

Pan-Fry Bacon: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, releasing its fat.
Sauté Onion: Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Cook Mushrooms: Stir in the mixed mushrooms, ensuring they absorb the bacon fat. Season with black pepper and sauté for another 2-3 minutes for an extra umami boost.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, then season with dashi powder (if using) and a bit more black pepper. Stir in soy sauce for depth of flavor. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add Cold Cooked Rice: Stir in the cold cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Let it absorb all the creamy flavors.
Transfer & Broil: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe container. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and broil for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, umami-packed dish!
